Class Experience

US Grade Preschool - Kindergarten
Learning the vowel letters and sounds is the KEY to learning to READ.  After all, every word in the English language must contain at least one vowel!  

I have created "vowel people" by integrating the letter into a picture!  In addition, I have created a simple story to go along with each vowel person.  This helps kids to engage and retain the information.  For example, Letter A needs to sneeze!  Letter A says /ah/ /ah/ /ah/ as in achoo!  Small A forms the head of the person.  When a child sees letter A in print, they will think it looks like vowel puppet A's head and that will help them recall the letter sound. 

As a FREE gift for taking this class, you will receive a set of Vowel People flashcards which can be turned into stick puppets as shown in class.  Also, this resource includes flashcards for all the special sounds and rules in English.  The call these diphthongs and digraphs. 

As a follow up, you might like to check out my A to Z Circle Time class! In this year long ongoing class, your child will learn a letter a day and activities for all subject areas centered around a daily theme.
Learning Goals
Students will learn the vowel letter shape and sounds.  They will be able to recognize the letters a,e,i,o,u and tell the sounds these letters make.
