Short Vowel Tents Science of Reading
In small group instruction, "vowel tents" are often used as a multisensory teaching tool to help students understand and internalize vowel sounds, which are foundational for reading and spelling. Here's why they are important: 1. Clarify Long and Short Vowel SoundsVowel tents typically display a visual representation of a vowel and its corresponding sounds (e.g., short "a" as in cat).This helps students differentiate between long and short vowel sounds, a common challenge for early readers.2.

Teaching style
I am passionate about creating meaningful, hands-on learning experiences for students. My educational background reflects this commitment: I earned a Bachelor's degree with a focus on the Montessori teaching method and Early Childhood Education. I further deepened my expertise with a Master’s degree in Elementary Reading, where I specialized in research-based strategies and interventions designed to help students strengthen their reading skills.
