Question : I am student teaching and trying to find a mini-lesson to teach that when two vowels are together the first one makes a long vowel sound and the second is silent. I have searched online and so far have been unable to find anything. Thanks for the ideas!

Answer : You mean such as in the words "make" "bake" and "fake"? This would be great to do with literacy stations. Create some words a and have "ake" and have them change the first letter to make new words, again such as "bake" and "cake" and "take" and "make". Or use other types that go along. Have the children put the scrambled words together. Another 3rd grade literacy activitiy is to have students look at comics in the paper and circle words they find that have the long vowel.

They only had to remember 5 sounds, and they built confidence that way. For long vowels, I use two mnemonics. One is "the silent e makes the vowel say its name." The other is "when two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking." Of course, these are not perfect, and English is full of broken rules. But it works for kids, who are particularly rules-based. They want to know how it works so they can apply the same rules over and over again. Funny, everyone seems to teach short vowels first, because they're easier to learn. What if we taught long vowels first because they're harder? Just wondering......   More from Yahoo Answers
