Review the patterns that were introduced in Lessons 1 through 31.
Please be sure that your student is successful with all of the words in Lesson 32
before you leave this lesson. The next lesson is the start of a new unit.
If a syllable contains a short vowel, the syllable will end with one or more consonants (for example, ăt, rĭb, tŏp, ŭs, ĕbb, răpt). The consonant “closes” or seals the vowel into the syllable. Letters before a vowel seldom impact the sound that a vowel makes. With the completion of this lesson, your student has become well versed with the pattern most commonly found in the English language, that being the short-vowel pattern.
