The Missing Vowels worksheet would allow students to practice using their prior CVC knowledge to build their confidence in the CVC pattern usage. It will also familiarize them with difference between consonants and vowels.

Using body movement to correspond with different short vowel sounds as well as a song and book "Mr. Pompo's nose".

"The book for today is called Dr. Pompo's Nose. This book is written and illustrated by Joost Elffers and Saxton Freymann. Looking at the cover of the book what can you tell me about what I might expect to find inside?"

I select a couple of students to respond to the question.

"I think you may be right Alisha. I think the characters are all going to be pumpkins which means the book is make-believe. Who remembers what another term for make-believe is?"

"Fiction is right Emily. Well let's go ahead and read the book and see just what is going on."

Once the story begins it does not take long for the students to catch onto the fact the book rhymes. We briefly discuss the words that rhyme but I do not spend too much time on this as it is not going to be the main focus of the lesson.

During reading, the students and I will discuss words like absentminded, ridiculous, ancient, fossil, etc. I like to point out the pumpkin faces and the expressions on them. I also like to discuss the way Ms. Sniffen talks and why she talks that way. I have the students hold their noses and we all practice talking like Ms. Sniffen.

After I have finished reading I ask the students if they can recall the vowel song we listened too before the story. I ask them to recall some of the sounds. "Can anyone tell me a vowel and the short sound it makes?"

I get as many students to respond as needed to get all of the vowels and their sounds mentioned.

"Great. Now can anyone tell me the short vowel sound they hear in the word Nimkin?"

"You are right Rachel is it /i/. It actually happens twice in the name Nimkin." I will annunciate or exaggerate the vowel sound so the students hear it.

"How about in the word Sniffin?"

"Right Everett. It is the /i/ sound again."

"What about the word fossil?"

I continue along this line of questioning with the words pumpkin, Wrinkle, etc.

Once I feel the students have a firm understanding of what I am asking, I tell them they will be sorting objects by short vowel sounds.

"Today at one of your integrated work stations you will have a variety of items at the table. It will be your job, along with your table members, to put the items in the correct short vowel sound pumpkin." Pumpkin Short Vowel Sorting Activity

"Once you have sorted the items, you will record at least one item on the vowel sound recording sheet. Everyone got it?"

Now I send the students over one table group at a time to maintain a safe and orderly classroom. It usually sounds like this;

"Table number one go have some vowel sorting fun.

Table number two, you know what to do.

Table number three, hope you were listening to me, and

Table number four, you shouldn't be here anymore."

Allow the students about 15 minutes to complete the task. Remind the students to check the visual timer to check how much time they have and to use their time wisely.

Learning the connections between letters and sounds is hard work for kindergarteners. Dr. Pompo and the rest of the pumpkins in town make learning short vowel sounds a little bit easier! Plan your 60-minute lesson in English / Language Arts or Reading with helpful tips from Joanne Clapp
