Long Vowels with Consonant Blends (Level 4-10)
Now that we've worked with both long vowels (levels 4-1 through 4-9) and consonant blends (all of planet 2 and 3), we're ready to try to combine those two strategies in a fun review level (4-10). This is the most challenging level in the first 4 worlds, as students have to adjust between various vowel patterns, including long vowels with a silent 'e' and long 'e' sounds made from 'ea' or 'ee'.
If you've been using Rocket Spelling sequentially, you might find it interesting to note that a student who completes the first 4 planets has already conquered (and subsequently reviewed) 410 different words -- about as many or more words than many spelling textbooks include in an entire year! By now, hopefully you've found that Rocket Spelling allows students to accelerate the pace of their spelling progress while also motivating them to keep crushing levels. We think being able to see progress in a visual way on the awards page encourages students to keep striving for more spelling success!
