Saturday: Sound Hunt

Lucy the Ladybug flies to the top of a tree.

"Sound Hunt day!" says Lucy.

"Find long e and long a words at home. Ready, go!"

  1. ee and ea say the long e, like leaf.
  2. ai says the long a in the middle, like rain.
  3. ay says the long a at the end, like day.
  4. A vowel team makes one sound.
