Short Vowels
Short Vowels
When reading aloud together, ask your child what the vowel sound is in words with a consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) pattern. This is an important skill for early reading.
It is important for students to learn how to identify the vowels sounds in CVC words. Make sure to review short vowels and their sounds daily. Make it fun through songs and chants!

Sharing Books
Sharing Books
Ask your child about the books they are reading in school, and share something about the book you are reading. As children learn how to talk about books, their reading comprehension will improve.
Have students practice retelling stories. As students read in class make sure to give them time at the end of reading time to share their books with partners. Provide them with sentence starters like: "My book is called... It is about..." Be sure to tell them not to give away the ending in case their buddy wants to read it!
