Parents Please note:
Spelling words either have the short /a/ or long /a/ sounds. All words starting with /a/ are making the short /a/ sound as in cat or apple or are following the CVC pattern. Notice that the long /a/ sounds are being made by vowel digraphs /ai/, /ei/, or CVCe combinations (silent e). The one exception would be the word /break/ which is not following any particular rule. Normally /ea/ would take the long /e/ sound, but in this case it says /a/ as in way.
