Purpose and Procedure

This task is the first in a series where you ask students to pick the vowel sound that belongs in a word based on the word's CVCe or CVC structure (that is, whether the word does or does not have a silent e at the end).

Correcting the Student

The following is the correction text to use if a student struggles when asked to pick which sound goes into a CVC word:

❖ If the student doesn’t know: This word doesn’t have one of those small sounds at the end like the first word did, and that means the missing sound is /ăăă/. So which sound goes in this word?…
