Description
Get ready to read some spelling patterns with long a, e, i, o, u. And oo.
Each of the long vowel sounds has its own set of cards here. The rhyming words on each card share an ending sound and usually– but not always– the same spelling pattern.
Most cards contain 4- or 5-letter words, with a very few 6-letter words squeezed in, too. This means you’ll find blends and digraphs as well, but as much as possible I’ve tried to keep the 5-letter words together on their own cards.
Master these rhyming words and you’ll be ready to write poetry!
Have fun!
