TIP!

To practise vowel sounds and help students to remember the words you can use 2 more activities: 

  1. To help students remember the words, play the MATCHING GAME. Let your students write down the words they see on a piece of paper divided into 2 columns. In one column they should write words with the /ai/ sound, and in the other column words with the /ei/ sound.
  2. After they are done, open the second link with the word GUESSING GAME
  3. Students must guess the word using the clue on the top of the card which includes the word class and the long vowel sound. Their paper from the previous activity will help them with guessing the word. In this activity, they also practise spelling.
