1. Literacy:
Today we are going to revise our vowel sounds.
There are two categories: Short Vowel and long vowel
Short vowels are; a,e,i,o,u
Long vowels are: á,é,í,ó,ú (the line over the vowel is called a fada and makes it a long vowel)
(a short YouTube clip might help a little, https://youtu.be/_nxu1CssWLk )
Spend a short time going through the sounds with your child, allow them some time to study them and afterwards check with them to see how well they know them. Eg. ask them if the “ee” sounding vowel is “i” or “í” (i with a fada). See below image of a table including all the short and long vowels with their pronunciations and examples.
4. SESE:
