Reading starts with hearing the sounds inside words, and phonics practice makes those sounds visible. Long Vowels is a 26-page printable pack for kids in Grades 1 to 3.

What is inside

The pack has 3 rhyme match, 3 fill the blank, 3 count syllables, 3 write the word and 2 silent e. Page titles include “Magic silent e”, “Rhyming words”, “Fill in the blank”, “Picture words” and “Sort by topic”. An answer key at the back makes checking quick. Instructions are written in English with a Filipino line underneath, so kids and parents can use whichever language is easier.

Covers and headers are in full color, but every activity area is black line art on white, so the pages print cleanly in grayscale and do not waste ink.

Skills it builds

Working through the pages practices long vowels. Each page takes about 15 to 20 minutes, which suits the attention span of kids in Grades 1 to 3.

How to use it

  • Keep sessions short and stop while your child still wants more.
  • Say each sound out loud together before writing anything.
  • Use the words from the pack in a short spoken sentence.
  • Let your child read the instructions first, then check the first answer together.

Ideas beyond the page

Play a rhyming game during the jeepney or car ride. Make a small word wall on the fridge from the words in the pack.

Who it is for

Early graders can follow written instructions and enjoy finishing a page on their own, with an adult nearby to check. At 26 pages, this is an activity pack with enough variety for a few weeks of regular practice. Parents can use it for homeschool or after-school practice, and teachers can print it for one classroom.

Printing tips

The file is an A4 PDF. Choose “Fit to page” and print one-sided; black-and-white is fine for the activity pages. At a computer shop, bring the PDF on your phone or a USB drive. You can print the whole pack or only the pages you need, as many times as you like for your own children or your own classroom.
