Do your students struggle with long and short vowel sounds? Mine do, especially my EL kiddos. Learning Resources contacted me about reviewing their {new for 2014} Vowel Owls Sorting Set and how could I say no when the owls are SO stinkin’ cute??
Not only are they cute, but they are perfect for stations and small group (of course it doesn’t hurt that when they are not in use, they look adorable on my shelf!!)
Here is their description from the Learning Resource site:
Vowels of a feather gather together to make phonics and word recognition a hoot! Help students distinguish long from short vowels in single-syllable words using engaging picture cards. Sort the cards into the correct owls labeled with the vowels. Use the extra “blank” owl for “sometimes y” or to distinguish long from short sounds of the same vowel.
The bright and cheerful birds are perfect for my EL kiddos who struggle with distinguishing those pesky middle sounds…the picture cards are easy to identify which helps a lot!

Happy Sunday!
I teach K and vowels, both long and short are a hard concept. This would be an awesome kit to have!
I teach Title 1 Reading. This would be GREAT for my small groups. Vowel confusion is something many of my students struggle with.
Oh! This would be great for small groups! I love LR products!
I could definitely use this for both. I could introduce it in small group guided reading and then put it in my literacy centers for independent work.

I would introduce it in small groups; then it would become an independent activity for my kinder kiddos. And it would match my owl theme!
These would make a great sorting station activity!
These are adorable and they would totally match my new owl themed room. I think I would start off using these in small groups at the table and then use them for centers.

These are exactly what I have been looking for to use in my classroom. I teach special education an we are really needing something that is hands on and not a worksheet. My students could use this in their daily work boxes, in centers, or small groups. It is another way for me to engage them in their learning. Plus they love sorting things out 🙂

These cute owls would be a fun center!
These are so sweet! I would use them with small groups. Thanks for the chance to win.
I would deff use these in small groups and for my teacher aide as well for my EL students!
I would love to have these in my new first grade room.
I would use it in small groups. It is perfect for ELL students!
So cute! And I agree, even adorable when not in use! I would use in small group or share with a helper to use as review after I have done a lesson first.
These adorable vowel owls would be perfect to use during guided reading mini-lessons. So often my kiddos need lots and lots of practices discriminating between the vowel sounds! This is a great, motivating way to do it:)
I would definitely use this. We are a priority school with high poverty and struggling learners.
I would use it for small group and then transition it to an independent center.
I would use these in a small group!

I would use this as a station and in a group with my students who are having difficulty distinguishing between the vowel sounds. Cute and practical!
These are so cute!! I would use them for small group instruction and/or centers in my classroom!
Super Cute! As is everything you do!
I teach first and these would help my students so much! I love them! I would definitely use them as part of my word work station.
I would use as stations to reinforce after teaching
I would first use this in small groups so everyone knew how to play on their own. Then it would become a literacy center. I think I would like to keep them somewhere visible b/c they are also good for classroom décor!
As a special education teacher working with kids who struggle with vowel sounds, this would be wonderful.
I would totally use this with my 1st grade kids. Some of my kids have such a hard time with long vowels and this would be perfect! Thanks!
Rambling About Reading
I would use this with a Word Work rotation and in small groups!
These would be perfect in small group and then independent centers for continued mastery. I have 98% ELL in my class so they would really help. Thanks for the chance to win!

I would use this in both settings. Small group for my kids who struggle and centers/rotations for the on level kids. hsease99@hotmail.com
I would use this in our small groups. They are so cute! Thanks for a great giveaway.

Until my kinder-bears have a true ownership of short vowels, I would use this in small group or with my paraprofessional in one-on-one intervention times. After some have mastered vowel sounds, I will move it to a station with a leader helping a student still gaining strength.
I teach kindergarten. This would be great in my small groups.
These look like a great resource! Perfect for intro, stations and small groups!

I love this! My kids struggled with this last year. I would introduce it in small groups and move it to a station after I knew they were using it correctly.

I would introduce in small groups (assessed through Words Their Way) and use with groups that are appropriate, then they would get to use to reinforce their learning independently!
I would use this whole group, then teacher table, and then in a center.
I would put them in one of my Daily Five bins AND use them during guided reading for word study. They are so cute!

These are just too cute! They would be used first in a teacher group; then in small group, and then for review and for struggling learners. They would also be cute out on a shelf and could be used for a center. Wonderful product.

I teach kindergarten and this would be a big asset to my students.

I would use it in small groups but also as a ticket out the door to recess. It's amazing the focus a child will give to a tough skill when recess is at risk.
I would use these in small group first and then put them in a literacy station to practice. I so loveeeeeeeeeee the owls. Great engaging game.
I would use them in small group and then have the students continue practicing in centers.
Both! Small groups to introduce and they can practice in centers. I'd make a recording sheet to use in the centers as well.
I would use this for small groups and later I would use it at a station. How cute! My classroom is decorated in owls!
I would use it with both small group and an independent activity depending upon the level of the students using it. They are adorable!!
I would introduce in small group and then move to a station! This would be perfect for a hands on station!
These would be perfect for my little friends! Sometimes those vowels can be so dang difficult! What a great hands on activity! Thanks so much! 😀

I would use it first at a teacher-guided small group center & then introduce later as an independent center. My classroom is owl-themed, so that's an extra plus! 😉
What fun!
Small group intro, then center work!
These will be a great way for my kiddos to practice those sounds!
I would use these in a station. These are too stinkin cute.
I would use these all year in my workstation. I would pull them and use them exclusively when introducing (Guided Instruction) them in word study. I would also put them on the shelf for students to use independently throughout the year. Looks like a great product.
These would be great for small groups, or even as a word work choice. Love the owls!
Thanks for the chance to win. They would be great for my 1st grade class.
I would use these in a lot of different ways. Thank you.
I would use these in centers especially for my low group.
I would love this for my manipulative center!! So stinkin cute…i have so many picture books to go along with this them "owl babies"
I use the owls to review vowels at the beginning of the year or in small groups with those who are still working on that skill. I love owls so I love this activity!!! If I don't win it I will buy them for sure!

I love this! This would be wonderful for my stations. About half of my incoming students are ELL and really could use the extra practice, along with all of my other firsties, of course!
I've never seen these before. They are really cute! I know my kids would love them. 🙂
Mrs. Black's Bees
So cute! I'd use for both small group and independent word work stations. Thanks for the opportunity!

I LOVE this!
I would love these! I would use them during rotation time in my classroom!
I can see this being easily used in small group and stations. However, I would probably start off using it in small group for introduction and then into stations later.
Those owls are so cute and would work great in a small group setting! I'm changing my theme to owls this year and these would be perfect! Kristi Teaching Little Miracles
