It's important that your child be able to say the entire chant and understand its meaning once the lesson is introduced. This page is meant to be informative and a resource for you, the parent, to use once lessons are introduced. Students will be working a lot with short vowel sounds during the beginning of the school year before specific phonic rules are taught. ***************************************************************************** Magic E: ***************************************************************************** Vowel Teams: ***************************************************************************** Dipthongs: ***************************************************************************** R Controlled/Bossy R:
