In some of the Sound City Reading books, the vowels are printed in color. You will be able to see and hear all of the consonant patterns as well. You will be able to see videos showing all of the vowel patterns, both beginning and advanced, and hear them pronounced. To see and hear all of the vowel patterns and sounds in this program, click on VIDEO in the menu.Less common vowel patterns are taught later.
The most common vowel patterns are taught first.This helps students understand the patterns and remember them more easily. The long vowel patterns are all shown on the same chart. For example, all of the long vowel patterns are taught one after the other during the same time period. Vowel patterns are grouped with other similar patterns when they are taught.These charts should only be used after students have studied the charts with sound pictures for a period of time. Being able to pick out the sound from a key word is more difficult. You can hear each vowel or vowel pattern by saying the key words. Some of the vowel charts have key words and pictures.These charts should be used first with the students. On some of the vowel charts, the sounds for the vowels and vowel patterns are shown using sound pictures from A Sound Story About Audrey And Brad. Students practice saying the vowel sounds that have been learned from charts as a daily review.I do not use the two dots in this way in this program.) In this word the a and the i are in separate syllables and are pronounced separately. Note: A similar mark that looks just the same (two dots over a vowel), called a dieresis, is used in English to show that the vowel is sounded in a separate syllable, as in the word naïve. The ï/pizza sound is the same as the ē/begin sound (the long ē sound). The ë/ballet sound is the same as the ā/raven sound (the long ā sound). I have also added two dots to the letters e and i to show the ë/ballet and ï/pizza sounds. (M ore information - The two dots, called an umlaut, are used in the German language to show when the vowels a, o, and u have alternate sounds. Two dots are placed above the vowels to show that they do not represent their usual sound. These vowel sounds are less common than the short and long vowel sounds. In this program, each vowel can also represent a third sound: ä/all, ë/ballet, ï/pizza, ö/to, and ü/bush.When teaching long vowels, a straight line can be placed above the vowel to show that it has the long vowel sound: ā, ē, ī, ō, ū. You can hear the long vowel sounds at the beginning of these words: ā/apron, ē/emu, ī/island, ō/ocean, ū/uniform. The long vowel sound is the same as the name of the vowel.After students have learned to read short vowel words, it will be much easier for them to learn to read words with the other vowel patterns. Many short vowel words have only three letters, making them easy to read. This means that you can pronounce most short vowel words by saying the sound for each letter, putting the sounds together smoothly. There are many words with short vowel sounds and they are very regular. Words with short vowel sounds are taught first in this program.They are just the common terms used to indicate the two different sounds. These terms do not mean that the letters themselves are shorter or longer, and it does not mean that the sounds are shorter or longer. Each single vowel can represent two main sounds, the short sound and the long sound.In some cases, a vowel pattern can represent more than one sound.
Example: the aw/saw and au/Paul patterns both represent the same sound.
