| 1.Two letter
words that start with a consonant often
have a long
vowel sound. The vowel says its name.
Examples: no,
go, ho-ho, so, be, me we...
Here are some rule breakers: to, do
2.
Do you know why the i
in time is
long?
That's right---it ends with an e.
Bossy e runs
over to tell the first vowel to say its
name. He's too tired to say anything
when he gets back to his place.
So---he is silent. |
