    (R307) Reading Resource: Introducing Split Vowel Digraphs

    Original price was: $3.99.Current price is: $0.00. including GST

    Once students have learned the basic code, to decode CVC, CCVC and CVCC words, and to attack polysyllabic words, they are ready to learn that:

      • English has other vowel sounds; and
      • some of them are spelled with <a_e>, <e_e>, <i_e>, <o_e> and <u_e> split vowel digraphs (i.e. two letter combinations), like “make”, “Steve”, “fine” and “rule”.

    In this scripted introduction to split vowel digraphs, we explain what they are, how to spot them in written words, and how to pronounce them, all in Plain English without resorting to “magic”, “bossy” or “silent” adjectives.

  • Split Digraph Minimal Pair Sentences a_e

    (R308) Reading Resource: Split Digraph (‘silent e’) Minimal Pair Sentences: a_e words

    $3.99 including GST

    Split digraphs – sometimes called the ‘bossy e’ or ‘magic e’ or ‘first use of the silent e’ – are tricky for many kids (and adults) who are learning to read! Even though many reading teachers are taught to focus on the so-called ‘silent e’, we would all do better by learners to focus on the different vowel speech sounds – the true difference between the words in each pair.

    In this sentence resource, we extend the contrast approach to help us to teach the split digraph in sentences. Each sentence contains both members of a word pair (or, in some cases, near word pair). For example: Can the man pat the lion’s mane or will the lion snap at him?

    To improve reading accuracy and speed, repetition is key. For this reason, this pack contains 60 sentences featuring word pairs, including <a_e>.
