I really like these and my kids do too! I noticed a word missing in the long vowel O story the other day on the first sentence. No big deal but thought you might want to fix it. Thank you for your great resource!

Does this pack include activities for all of the vowels or is this the vowel pack for the long a spelling patterns?

Do you have another preview of the product? I would like to see a sample of the different activities offered. If you don't have a preview can you list the activities included?
This unit includes activities for the long a, long e, long i, long o,and long u patterns. There is a word sort activity for each long vowel pattern. For example the long "a" word sort has words containing a_e, ai, and ay to sort on a tree map. Following the word sort activity, there is a silly story for the kids to read and highlight all the long "a" pattern words. When they finish reading the story, they write the words on their tree map/recording sheet. Let me know if you need more details about the packet...I would be glad to let you know. Thanks for taking a look at my unit!
Hi there...there is a word sort for each long vowel a,e,i,o,u +oo with a sorting mat and recoding sheet. I also included a short story for each long vowel as well. For example, the long vowel a has students sort ai, ay, and a-e. The story contains many long a pattern words for students to highlight and sort on the mat when then they are finished reading the passage. I hope this answers your question. Thanks for stopping by!
