This activity book helps students transition from simply identifying long vowels to confidently using them. As they progress through the pages, they’ll practice recognizing long vowel sounds, decoding vowel teams and CVCe patterns, and reading long vowel words naturally in context.
The activities develop phonemic awareness and blending skills while improving word pattern recognition. Meanwhile, students enhance fluency through decodable sentences and short stories, and they get opportunities to practice everything through simple writing tasks using long vowel words — because reading is valuable, but applying it is where the real magic happens.
🤩Perfect For

Teachers can use it easily during literacy centers, small groups, or intervention because the structure is clear and the skills build logically.
Parents and homeschool families will appreciate that it doesn’t require special training to use — it’s straightforward, student-friendly, and perfect for steady practice at home. It also works well for homework, morning work, and early finishers since students can complete it independently without feeling lost or rushed.
💡 Learning Tips
To make the most of this activity book, try focusing on one long vowel sound at a time over several days. Have learners read the words aloud, highlight or circle the vowel patterns, and use the words in their own sentences.
Repeating the same vowel pattern across multiple pages helps build confidence, fluency, and long-term retention.
