State and Model the Objective
The children will compare short- and long-vowel words (e.g., lick vs. like) as they decide if they like to lick a candy stick or want to bite a bit of cake.

Literacy Activities
Would you lick or bite it?

  • Contrast some short- and long-vowel word pairs written on the board (e.g., lick vs. like, bit vs. bite, mad vs. made, sit vs. site).
  • Tell the children that there are foods that they can lick and foods that they can bite.
  • Let the children think of foods they would like to lick or get a bit to bite.  
  • Display the Lick vs. Bite chart (found below) 
  • Ask the children if they would like to lick or get a bit of the foods listed on the chart to bite.
  • Make a check in each cell of the chart that corresponds to the food that most children would like to lick or get a bit to bite.

More Practice 
Read contrasting short- and long-vowel words   

  • Create a T-chart to contrast short- and long-vowel words by labeling one side Short-vowel words and labeling the other side Long-vowel words.
  • Place a short- and long-vowel word pair from the set of word cards (found below) in the T-chart.
  • Have the children place more word pairs from the set of word cards in the columns or write short- and long-vowel word pairs from dictation.

Match short-vowel to long-vowel words

  • Demonstrate how to do the Matching Word Pairs handout (found below) where the children will match short-vowel words to their long-vowel counterpart.
  • Let the children, in pairs or small groups, match the pairs on the handout. Assist as needed.

Engage the children in interactive reading of texts

  • Read the What Do You Like to Lick? target text to the children.
  • Engage the children in reading the target text with you. 
  • Ask the children to read the text independently. 
  • Have the children take turns reading the text to a partner in paired reading.
  • Read the Lick Drips from Sticks and Cones target text to the children
  • Invite the children to read Lick Drips from Sticks with you.
  • Read the text again, fading support.
  • Invite the children to circle short-vowel words and draw a box around long-vowel words in the displayed text.
