Christmas is coming!

The sounds we are covering this week are alternatives to sounds we have already learned for the "long" vowel sounds - ai, ay, and a_e; ee and ea; ie, igh, and i_e; oa, ow, and o_e. We call the a_e, i_e, and o_e magic e words, where the e jumps over the previous letter, a consonant, and makes the vowel say its own name.

Our new words for the week are all and are.

Dec 13 toque day (winter hats)
