SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
❖ Explain that so far, only one sound for each vowel has been
presented. These are called short vowels. Now, new sounds for each
vowel, called long vowel sounds will be learned. Long vowels are
easy to remember because they simply say their name. For example,
in hope, the letter o says the long sound.
❖ The Magic E Rule helps in remembering when to say the long
vowel sound. The Magic E Rule says:

The first vowel is long and the e is silent

READ
❖ Read several of the list words aloud to the student, and remind
him of the Magic E Rule as you go.
❖ Have the student read all of the list words aloud. Gently correct
any mispronunciations. Remember, the e is silent.
