Long Vowel Sounds and Spelling

The video tutorial introduces students to word sorting with a focus on long i and long o sounds. It explains the different spellings for these sounds, such as i-consonant-e, igh, and y for long i, and o-consonant-e, oa, and ow for long o. The tutorial also covers exceptions to these spelling rules. Students are instructed to sort words into categories and proofread for spelling errors, building on previous weeks' practice.
