Multiple Vowel Sounds and Spellings
For additional practice
with multiple vowel
spellings, see “Reading and
Comprehension”
Vowel Code Flip Book Review
• Point to vowel spellings in the Vowel Code Flip Book and ask students to say
the sounds.
• Say (or sing) a vowel sound and ask students to locate and point to the spelling.
• Ask students to point to single-letter spellings for vowel sounds, digraph
spellings for vowel sounds, and separated digraphs.
Mark the Vowel Spellings
• Ask students to turn to Worksheet PP1.
• Ask students to read each word and circle the letter or letters for the vowel
sound in the word.
• The words on the front of the sheet have one syllable, so there is only only one
vowel spelling to find in each word. The words on the back have two syllables,
so there are two vowel spellings to find in each word.
Count the Sounds
• Have students turn to Worksheet PP2.
• Remind students some sound-spellings consist of more than one letter (letter
teams, digraphs, or trigraphs).
• Tell students to count and mark the sounds in each word.
• Have students write the number of sounds in the box.
• Tell students to copy the words onto the lines.
Choose the Word
• Have students turn to Worksheet PP3.
• There are two words written above each picture.
• Tell students to circle the word that matches the picture and print it on the line
below the picture.
Circle Spelling
• Have students look at Worksheet PP4.
• For each picture, have students circle the letters that spell the name of the
picture.
• Tell students to write the name of the item on the line.
