Short and Long Vowel Sounds Activity Mini Book
3 Easy activity pages for your child to identify long and short vowel sounds.
Letter sounds are so important when reading skills are being learned, but sometimes we don’t spend enough time reinforcing vowel sounds.
Meg the mermaid greets your child and invites them to imagine an undersea adventure to learn letter sounds.
Important: It’s not a “book” in a bookstore — it’s a digital file, like a short e-book, a PDF file you can print. 6 pretty pages to delight your little one. And it’s free.
There are only 3 pages of “work” and they’re easy. This isn’t a book that will teach vowel sounds. It’s a chance to use knowledge and activity to reinforce skills.
Maybe you really don’t want to add “more schoolwork” to your child’s load.
You know what? You’re right. Our kids have demanding lives.
But listen: Your child wants worth and purpose in the work they do, in the same way that your workday has value and importance. Showing interest and encouragement keeps the momentum going.
So ask, comment, and be happy for them.
After all, those first three years of school teach the important skill they need for all the rest: Reading.
If your child is one of those exceptional kids, enjoy it! Let them read every single day. It’s one of the keys to a successful life. Essential.
And if your child is reluctant, struggling, or if things just aren’t “clicking” then you have the power and the ability and the resources to help them catch up. Team up with your child’s teacher and watch the learning light up!
So just to be clear: You’re here for your child, and I’m here for you. Visit the blog anytime for parenting and school encouragement. I’m trying to show up with things that help you say, “I knew!” instead of, “I wish I had known.” 😉
And get this free book and spend a few minutes with your child. As parents, we’re so overwhelmed and busy we almost forget how important it is. To say, “Wow. That was really good.” Or, “You know some big words. That’s awesome.” Those words can really fill their tank.
Signing up for something can be frustrating. Maybe you are afraid it won’t really arrive. And sometimes maybe it doesn’t!
