Original Prompt

By February 2027, when given a grade-level list of (20) regular one-syllable words with long and short vowels, (name) will: 1) decode each word and 2) distinguish (orally) whether each word has a long or short vowel, correctly decoding and distinguishing vowels in (16 out of 20) words in (3 out of 4) trials.

This resource focuses on teaching students to decode one-syllable words while distinguishing between long and short vowel sounds, particularly using the CVCe (Consonant-Vowel-Consonant-silent e) pattern. The learning objective is for students to recognize and articulate the difference between short and long vowels with at least 80% accuracy. It includes a vowel reference chart, exercises for identifying vowel sounds in various words, guided practice sessions that involve breaking down words into sounds, and independent practice where students can reinforce their vowel identification skills. There is also a self-assessment section for students to reflect on their understanding of decoding skills.
