Introduction
(2 minutes)- Ask students what a vowel is.
- Remind students that a vowel is a letter, and that every word has at least one vowel.
- Point to the letters on a class alphabet chart as you name the five vowels with your students.
- Review the short vowel sounds with students, using an image if possible. For example, "A says ah-ah-apple, E says e-e-egg, I says i-i-igloo, O says o-o-octopus, and U says u-u-under."
- Tell students that today you will be listening for the different sounds that make up a word, and focusing on the letter A.
- Show students the Vocabulary Cards to review the vocabulary.
