Notes for Sort 6: Sort 6 provides a review of all five long vowels and can be used to
transition to the next set of sorts where students will sort just words. Lay down the headers for each long-vowel sound and talk about the medial vowel sound and the symbol
used to represent that sound. Then sort the pictures by the vowel sounds in the middle.
After checking the placement of the pictures, match each word card to its corresponding
picture. Talk about the fact that there is a silent e at the end of each word that cannot
be heard.
SPELL CHECK 1 ASSESSMENT FOR MEDIAL
LONG-VOWEL SOUNDS
(See page 16.) Spell Check 1 can be used as a pretest and/or posttest to determine if
students can isolate and identify the medial long vowels. For students who have full
phonemic awareness, this should be an easy task because the long vowels “say their
names.” Name each picture and ask students to circle the vowel they hear in the middle
of the word. Students who score 10 or better can move on to the next set of sorts. The
words are:
1. kite 2. leaf 3. rope 4. suit
5. rain 6. slide 7. soap 8. peach
9. gate 10. feet 11. paint 12. fruit
