My 6 year old and I are still plugging along with learning to read during the summer, albeit at a slower pace. We all like the more relaxed days that summer brings!
He is still practicing quite a bit with CVC and CVCe words, so it is time to break out a few new activities related to the short o and long o sounds.
If you have a beginning reader also, see if this set of learning activities would be a good fit for your young learner.
Also, please take a look at Short A and Long A worksheets and Short I and Long I worksheets if you need more activities to add to your learning time.

Short O and Long O Vowel Sounds
