Word Chaining with Short 'a'

The purpose of this activity is to offer students practice reading words with a short 'a', /ă/, like rat and rag.

Reading Universe is made possible by generous support from Jim & Donna Barksdale; the Hastings/Quillin Fund, an advised fund of the Silicon Valley Community Foundation (opens in new window); the AFT (opens in new window); the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation (opens in new window); and several anonymous donors.
