Let’s meet the Long o.
O “o” ocean.
Say it with me - O “o” ocean.
You already know that the letter o can make the short o sound.
O “aw” octopus.
Say it with me - O “aw” octopus.
Let’s trace the uppercase O together. Ready? Start at the top- Go all the way
around to make a circle.
Now for the lowercase o, ready? Start at the dotted line go all the way around to
make a small circle.
Let’s look at some words that start with the long o sound. Long vowels say
their name. Listen for the O at the beginning of these words.
Oval,
oatmeal, and
open all start with the long o.
There is a second way an “o” can be a long vowel and say its own
name.
Meet the silent e. When a word has the silent e at the end, it turns the short o
into a long O. Let me show you how.
Sound this word out for me.
Good job reading the word, mop.
When the silent e comes to play the game, it makes the vowel say its name. Now the
“aw” says “o” turning mop to…
mope.
