The Not-So-Lazy Schwa

Written by Yvette Manns

The most common sound in the English language, Schwa, searches for a place of belonging among consonants and vowels. Even though he doesn't have a letter, he learns that he plays an important role in words, after all.

This phonics tale is a great teaching aid for elementary students and literacy lovers, alike!

This is best used with students who've learned vowel sounds and are being introduced to the schwa sound. This can be used before, during, or after your literacy lessons, or as a read-aloud before explaining the concept of a schwa.
