Phonics and phood.
Phun!
(Please. Indulge me…..)
You will need: salad ingredients, large bowl, salad spoons, salad dressing, pencil, paper
1) List all of the ingredients you can put into a salad.
2) Next, make a real salad using only ingredients that have a short vowel sound. For example suggest a salad with any or all of the following short vowel ingredients: apple, lettuce, radish, celery, mushroom, egg, asparagus, olive, bell pepper and broccoli.
3) Top the salad with a yummy short vowel sound dressing (French – yes, Italian – yes, blue cheese – no) and enjoy the finished product!
101 Reading Activities* suggests that it’s okay to just write down the ingredients if you don’t want to make a real salad.
I suggest you ignore that suggestion.
I suggest you take over the kitchen and make an entire salad bar. Call me when it’s ready, please.

*101 Reading Activities was published by Publications International, Ltd. It’s a great little book, but I can’t find it online anywhere.
