ACTIVITY 10 - MISSING VOWELS (continued)

How Can You Help?

• Review the names of the vowels A, E, I, O, and U. Tell your child that

there is a special name for these letters. The special name for this group

of letters is vowels. Be sure that your child knows the sounds, both long

and short vowel sounds.

• While reading books, magazines, signs, etc. to your child, draw atten-

tion to the vowels in words. Have your child tell you what the vowel is

within a word.

• Using old magazines, have your child look for vowels in print. Help him

or her cut out vowels. Next, organize all of the A’s together, E’s to-

gether, etc. and glue them onto the cards which have been labeled for

each of the vowels. Keep the learning toy nearby for this activity so he

or she may refer to the vowels when looking for vowels to cut out.

ACTIVITY 11 - WORD FAMILIES

This activity strengthens language development. Your child will be asked to

pick out rhyming words in this activity. Your child will see a word on the LCD

screen. There will be three other words shown. He or she must decide which

words rhyme with the first word.

Learning Benefits for Your Child - The Word Families activity will help teach

your child that certain word endings can be used to make a number of

words. For example in the ATE family, you can make the words gate, rate,

and fate. Your child will be able to recognize that the ending letters in word

families do not change, only the beginning letters change. Your child will be

able to spell many words by recognizing a word family.
