The Schwa Sound
The schwa sound is when a vowel sound makes the /uh/ sound.
Normally this happens on syllables that are unstressed.
That helps with reading, but our little ones need lots of practice spelling these funny-sounding verbs.
And this activity gives them lots of practice reading and spelling these schwa words.

Finally, gather up two different colored dry-erase markers and a die.
For example, if the player rolls a one, then they would read the word about.
Next, they would write the word about on the blue rectangle that has a one on it.
