Description These vowel sound order of frequency triangles, provide a visual of the most common spelling patterns for each commonly taught vowel sound. These phonics posters include the most common phoneme-grapheme correspondences for English vowel sounds, including short vowel vowels, long vowels, r-controlled vowels, diphthongs, and others. Each triangle includes the most common and consistent patterns ONLY. Patterns used less than 3% of the time are not included. For example, these posters answer the following questions: What vowel sound-symbol correspondences are the most frequent? What vowel spelling patterns will students encounter the most in text? An awareness of spelling frequencies can help us plan our reading and spelling instruction as well as build and support students’ understanding of the most common ways to spell each vowel sound in English. This resource includes: 19 vowel sound order of frequency posters with the most commonly taught spelling patterns in the order of frequency. 3 printing options (colored, basic, blackline) Instructional slides (digital posters) Interactive slides (build each triangle together as a class) Student flip book (students review and apply their understanding of order of frequency to build their own frequency triangles) All digital components include both a POWERPOINT AND Google Slides™ version. How to Use: Display the classroom posters at a center or designated place in the classroom. Use the posters as a reading and spelling support in the classroom all year long. Use the instructional slides to review the most common spelling patterns for each long vowel sound. Perfect for whole group and small group instruction. Use the interactive instructional slides as a whole group activity or in small group for additional practice and application. Use the student flipbook during guided or independent practice. This acts a perfect review of previously taught skills and patterns. Sound-Symbol Correspondences include: Short vowels: /a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, /u/ Long Vowels: /a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, /u/, /yoo/ Diphthongs: /oi/, /ou/ R-controlled: /ar/, /er/, /or/, /air/, /ear/ Others: /au/, short /oo/ **I have a series of Structured Literacy Lessons that explicitly teach each spelling pattern and concepts.
