Download these free, printable words with long A worksheets to your phonics resources for you classroom. These pages include black and white clip art to help students match words with meaning.
Not only will you find pictures, there are also mazes and other puzzles to keep these pages engaging for your child.
The words on these pages all contain a long a vowel sound.
The letter combinations making the long A sound are ai and ay.
Examples of words found in this set include nail and tray.
These words with the long A sound can be tricky because students must determine if the word contains an ay or ai. It will take some practice for students to master the spellings of these words.
To help students get started, make an anchor chart for practicing words with the different letter combinations.
Write ai and ay at the top.
Have students name words with the long a sound as you write each word in the correct column.
Some words to suggest if your children get stuck are trail, mail, sail, paint, braid and brain. Ay words you can use are pay, stay, tray, birthday, sway and play.
This set contains 11 printable pages where students will work with words containing the vowel teams ay and ai. Each one will have a long A sound within the word.
Students will complete words and color pictures while identifying the missing letters.
These pages might fit into your second or third grade word work practice.
Children will be ready for these pages after mastering short vowel words, magic e words and words with digraphs and blends.
I hope that these pages that will engage your children. I continue to work to include different formats that will add a little fun to phonics practice that can sometimes get boring for children. To help you engage your children pages include mazes or other small activities to add a little fun for children.
I hope that the variety of worksheet layouts I create will help you find a way that is most engaging for each child.
