Learning outcome:
A. Students will be able to say the long and short sound of the vowels.
Hello! My name is Spoiled Rotten. I am so
happy that you
have come to see me today. I want to take you on an
adventure so that I can teach you about long and short vowels.
I am just waking up from my nap. If you will say "A-E-I-O-U,"
I will rise and we can get started on our way.
"A-E-I-O-U."
Good morning to you too. Are you ready to learn about the vowels? Well, vowels are kind of special. They are spoiled rotten, just like me. They are so special that they can say two sounds. The first sound that "A-E-I-O-U" says is called their long sound. This is the easiest sound because the vowel says its name. Let's begin with the letter a.

Good morning to you too. Are you ready to learn about the vowels? Well, vowels are kind of special. They are spoiled rotten, just like me. They are so special that they can say two sounds. The first sound that "A-E-I-O-U" says is called their long sound. This is the easiest sound because the vowel says its name. Let's begin with the letter a.
"A"
A says its name: "A" as in angel.
"E"
E says its name: "E" as in east.
"I"
I says its name: "I" as in ice.
"O"
"U"
U says its name: "U" as in unicorn.
We are
going to learn about the vowels' other sounds. Vowels can say a
sound that is
called their short sound. Come along with me to learn about the
short vowel sounds!
"A"
A says "ah" as in apple.
"E"
E says "eh" as in envelope.
"I"
I says "ih" as in infant.
"O"
O says "o" as in ostrich.
"U"
U says "uh" as in umbrella.
Thank you for letting me teach you all about
the vowel sounds. I do hope that you will
come to visit me again. Bye!
Love, Spoiled Rotten
