'e will begin by discussing ai and ay vowel words. The students will get a

game. The students will be paired together each getting () words with
pictures. *t will be a competition to see which pair of students can get the
most words under the correct vowel sound in the fastest amount of time.

Play this as many times as time will allow. 'e will go over each of the
students answers in the game and we will discuss whether each word is
correct or should go under the other vowel combination.
-nce we get .nished, the students will then get to write down all the words
from each category onto a wor"sheet. *f time allows, the students can draw
pictures that correlate with the word.
The .nal ai and ay activity is to color code words. * have a wor"sheet that
