Long /e/ with -e spelling and using pronouns
Today, we learned that the letter -e can make two sounds:
- the short /e/ sound like in ten, hen and pet
- the long /e/ sound like in zero, hero, and she
Do you know that he, she, we and me are pronouns? We practiced making lots of sentences with these special words:
-He is a boy.
-She is a girl.
-Give me the marker.
-We are in class.
-She is sitting.
-We are working.
-He is eating.
Can you think of any more sentences using he, she and we?
