Distinguish long e and short e vowel sounds.
Know vowel team sound-spellings for long e (y, ey and ie).
Read irregularly spelled words (also, myself, off and seven).
Read The Creaky House by Betty Riggs during shared reading. While reading, we will notice words that represent sound (creaked, ticked, honked), hear initial consonant blends, and notice word endings (-ed and -ing). After reading, we will discuss the setting and why it is important, and infer a "lesson" from the story.
