Study Notes

  • Lesson 16 focuses on utilizing patterns to determine vowel sounds.

CV and CVC Patterns

  • CVC stands for consonant-vowel-consonant.
  • Activity: Write down the following pairs, circle the short vowel sounds and underline the long vowel sounds: be/bed, we/wet, he/hen, she/shed, so/sob, me/men, no/not.

VCe Patterns

  • Examine the VCe Pattern.
  • In the word 'plane': p-l-a-n-e

Determine Vowel Sounds Using Common Patterns

  • Note "not" vs "note."
  • Activity: Write down these pairs, circle the short vowel sounds, and underline the long vowel sounds: man/mane, me/met, be/bet, pal/pale, rog/rode, pin/pine.

Assess

  • To read new words, identify the sounds of all the consonants and vowels.
  • To identify the sounds of the vowels, identify the pattern.
  • If the word has one vowel and ends with a consonant, the vowel is probably short.
  • If the word has one vowel and ends with a vowel, the vowel sound is probably long.
  • If the word has a vowel that is followed by a consonant and a final 'e', the sound of the first vowel is usually long.
