Vowel pairs make different sounds than individual letters. The 'ai' combination often forms the long /a/ sound, like in 'brain' and 'strain'. Get your kids to look at the pictures in the worksheet, identify each and say the name aloud. Help them circle the words with the long /a/ sound.
Encourage your kids to complete this fun worksheet. Ask them to identify the animals and objects in the pictures. Read the incomplete sentences aloud, and then find the correct word to finish the sentence. Check their work.
