Step 1: Introduction to Short and Long "E"
š Explain the concept in simple words:
- Short "e" (/É/): Found in words like bed, pen, net, red (sounds like "eh").
- Long "e" (/iĖ/): Found in words like see, tree, meet, bee (sounds like "ee").
šÆ Activity - Imitation Game
š¦š§ Ask students to repeat after you and feel the difference in pronunciation.
Step 2: Visual & Auditory Learning
š Use pictures & real objects
Show images of words with short and long "e" sounds (e.g., a pen vs. a tree) and say them aloud.
šÆ Activity - Sound Sorting
š¹ Prepare two boxes labeled Short E and Long E.
š¹ Say a word (e.g., "pet" or "feet"), and students decide which box it belongs to.
Step 3: Interactive Word Building
š Teach spelling patterns
- Short "e" words often follow CVC pattern (consonant-vowel-consonant), e.g., pen, ten, bed.
- Long "e" words often have double "ee" or "ea," e.g., tree, bee, meat, seat.
šÆ Activity - Fill in the Blanks
Provide missing letters:
- B__d (bed)
- F__t (feet)
- M__t (meet)
Students complete the words with "e" or "ee".
Step 4: Interactive Games
šÆ Game - Act It Out
- Write words on slips of paper (e.g., "sleep," "pet," "see," "red").
- A student picks a word and acts it out while others guess.
šÆ Game - Word Relay
- Divide students into two teams.
- Say a word (e.g., "green"), and they must run to the board and write the correct spelling.
Step 5: Speaking & Listening Practice
šÆ Tongue Twisters for Pronunciation
- "Three green trees"
- "See the bee on the tree"
šÆ Storytelling Challenge
- Provide a short passage with both short and long "e" words.
- Let students take turns reading and identifying the words.
Step 6: Writing Practice
š Use sentence formation
- "I see a __." (tree, bee)
- "I have a __." (pen, pet)
šÆ Activity - Create a Funny Story
Ask students to write a short silly story using as many short and long "e" words as possible.
Step 7: Fun Digital Tools
šÆ Use Online Interactive Games (like Starfall, ABCmouse, or Kahoot) to reinforce learning.
