Meet the Short Vowels Freebie!

Happy Weekend!

 

I'm so happy to revive my TPT Treasures:

T.P.T. Treasures is a series featuring awesome finds I've used with my students and absolutely LOVE! My students can be considered a "tough" group to teach (although I think they are "perfect" and wouldn't have it any other way!). If an activity clicks with them, then it's a sure winner!

 

This week, I'd like to shout out an awesome FREE find! Actually, another teacher used these last year and told me all about them:

 

Short Vowel Stories: Meet the Short Vowels

 

The above link takes you to Lesley's store Practice Makes Perfect, here's a link to her blog.

 

Her stories are a RIOT, especially with 6 year olds :) There's one vowel per page...perfect to slip into a sheet protector. I have to admit, I wasn't sure if I could pull off the Short O story and had my student teacher present it instead (he's a total rockstar, BTW). I wish you could have been there...my students were giggling SO much and almost immediately repeating the catch phrases at the end of each story! ♥

 

I think these stories are perfect as is, but I have issues (I admit it) and really prefer all my materials to match :)  I also wanted a smaller half-page size. I did adapt Lesley's amazing stories to simplify some of the wording and add a little zebra-influence:

 

 

I wrote the short stories on the back of the cards. I wanted my students to focus on only the ending "catch phrase. " You can download Lesley's stories from her TPT store and my visual supports here. Please leave her some wonderful feedback if you ♥ the stories as much as my students do!

 

Happy Teaching!
