    L.E.M Phonics – Vowels saying their second

    sound

    Last week I discussed the importance of syllabification

    and the role it plays in spelling. This week I will

    introduce you to a basic rule about vowels:

    Vowels usually say their second sounds at the end of a

    syllable. For example: ‘a’ makes /ay/; ‘e’ makes /ee/, ‘o’

    makes /oa/ and ‘u’ /yoo/.

    We generally use a dot to show where a syllable break

    is. Have a go at adding in the syllable breaks for these

    words. Add in a number 2 above any vowel making

    their second sound like this:

    she open music paper

    table motor item

    sky

    Feel free to email me any questions you may have

    about LEM phonics. My email address is
