ALPHABERT THE READY TO READ ROBOT™ ACTIVITIES ACTIVITY 6 - MISSING VOWELS (continued) How Can You Help? • Remind your child that the vowels are displayed in a different color from the consonants on the letter buttons. Review the names of the vowels A, E, I, O, and U. Be sure that your child knows the sounds (both long and short) of the vowels. • While reading books, magazines, signs, etc. to your child, draw attention to the vowels in words. Have your child tell you what the vowel is in a word. • Using old magazines, have your child look for vowels in print. Help him or her cut out vowels. Next, organize all of the A's together, E's together, etc. and glue them onto cards which have been labeled for each of the vowels. Keep your child's learning toy nearby for this activity so he or she may refer to the vowel buttons when looking for vowels to cut out. ACTIVITY 7- MATCHING RHYMES This activity challenges your child to make a rhyming word pair. Your child will discover that rhyming words have the same ending sound. He or she will be asked to add a missing letter to one of the two words that appear on the LCD screen in order to make the two words rhyme. Learning Benefits for Your Child-The Matching Rhymes activity will help teach your child that certain word endings can be used to make a number of words that rhyme (i.e. ATE can be used to make the words gate, rate, and fate). Your child will be able to recognize that the ending letters do not change, only the beginning letters change. Your child will be able to spell many words by recognizing rhyming words. Rhyming words may also be referred to as being part of the same word family. Other words in this activity are glue and zoo. These words rhyme, too, but are not considered to be in a word family since their endings are not the same. ACTIVITY INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Press the Matching Rhymes activity button. You will hear a sound effect followed by "Some words sound the same. These words rhyme. Fill in the letter to make the two words rhyme." Fill in the letter to make the two words rhyme.
