Black and White Word Cards

Lesson Plan

-I created a lesson plans that could be used for this literacy activity.  The lesson plan comes with common core state standards, ideas on how to use the story, wall display, and worksheets. 

Video Ideas and Books that Teach Long 

-I wrote down videos that cover Long e (-y).  I also wrote down books that you can read that will help emphasize on Long e (-y).

Here is an example on how to use the story: On chart paper write down Long e (-y).  Read the story and sing the songs from the wall display.  Have students listen for Long e (-y) words.  Then have them get with a partner and tell them the words that they heard.  After they have told their partner, call on students to tell you what words that they heard and write it on the chart paper.
