KristenR Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I just did a blog post today about a fun game we invented that helped us "sing" our vowels. Maybe it will help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mygirlrocks Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 She is pretty good at reading. Reading almost grade level 8. She is in the GT program in school. But somehow I feel that vowel concept is still not clear to her. Thank you all. I will read that blog post. Is there any curriculum /book out there for Language art?

perky Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 "When there is one vowel in a word, it is usually short." "When there are two vowels in a word, the first one says it name and the second one is silent." When we did Abeka Phonics, I made my dd memorize these two rules. She had short/long confusion prior to this, but the rules pretty much cleared that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any curriculum /book out there for Language art? :confused: If she is reading on an 8th grade level, she obviously knows how to pronounce vowels. Why are you concerned?
