Long Vowel Sound Brainstorm Templates & Assessments

Are you teaching the long vowel sounds, and looking for some open-ended assessment and/or vowel team worksheets to consolidate the long vowel sounds? These brainstorm templates can be used as a record of student learning or class brainstorms, or are a fantastic open-ended assessment tool to assess what students have learnt at the end of a target phoneme focus.

Choose from a wide variety of activity options!

For each long vowel sound there are a variety of pages that include:

• 2 x differentiated worksheets- students break up the long vowel words into individual sounds, then draw the word or put it into a sentence. At the bottom of the worksheet, they write how many ways they know to represent that phoneme.
• Brainstorm words with each of the main spellings for the long vowel sounds
• List words with each of the main spellings for the long vowel sounds (includes an 'other' column where students can demonstrate their knowledge of less common spellings.
• Fun brainstorm pages with pictures related to each of the long vowel sounds

Differentiate your assessment!

The graphic organisers allow you to differentiate your assessing:

• students requiring support may only fill out some of the columns or provide a couple of examples for each word.
• More capable students can demonstrate the extent of their knowledge by writing as many words as they can think of (rather than capping them by only testing them on a limited number of words) and/or showing extension representations.
• To further extend the assessment, block out the graphemes and get the students to fill that part in themselves.

Long vowels included:

• Long vowel a
• Long vowel i
• Long vowel e
• Long vowel o
• Long vowel u
