Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Hear long o at the beginning of a word

  • Recognize long o when it occurs elsewhere

Teaching tips

  • Say every option aloud and hold the long vowel before circling.

  • Sort selected words by where the long-o sound occurs or how it is spelled.

Skills covered

  • Vowel-sound discrimination — long o is separated from other pronunciations.

  • Phonics generalization — the sound is recognized beyond initial position.

  • Sound-print analysis — spelling and pronunciation are compared.
