Example Question #1 : Distinguish Long From Short Vowel Sounds: Ccss.Ela Literacy.Rf.1.2.A
Which word does not belong with the others?
Hint: Think of long and short vowels.
Possible Answers:
Make
Rake
Sad
Mate
Correct answer:
Sad
Explanation:
Let's start by saying each of the answer choices out loud:
Rake
Make
Mate
Sad
Now, let's look at the vowels in each of the words.
Rake
Make
Mate
Sad
All of the vowels are the letter a, but do they all sound the same? No, they do not.
Rake, make, and mate all have a long vowel sound.
Sad has a short vowel sound. Since only one of the words has a short vowel sound, that is the word that does not belong with the others.
