Phonics: Long -i-,-o- and -u- Sounds
Some words have the long -i-, -o-, and -u- sounds.
The long -i- sound is like in kite, the long -o- sound is like in home, and the long -u- sound is like in cute. Learning to tell these sounds apart will help you read and spell new words.
Why itβs interesting: Long vowel sounds are fun to learn because they help us hear the difference between words. For example, kite πͺ has the long -i- sound, home π has the long -o- sound, and cute π has the long -u- sound. Practicing these sounds makes us stronger readers, spellers, and writers! β¨

A noun is a person, place, or thing. Sometimes, you add an -s to the end of a noun to show there is more than one. Example: one dog; three dogs. Sometimes, you add -es to the end of the noun to show there is more than one.
You add -es when the noun ends in s, ch, sh, or x. Example: one bus; two buses When a noun ends in a consonant + y, change the "y" to "i" and add "es"
