Hey there! Are you ready to have some fun while learning about vowels? Let’s get moving and learn the sounds that vowels make. We’ll do a special workout with our bodies to help us remember!
First, let’s squat down low for the short sounds. Then, we’ll reach up high for the long sounds. Are you ready? Let’s go!
Short sound: A says /a/ like in alligator. Can you squat down low like an alligator?
Long sound: A says /eɪ/ like in acorn. Reach up high like you’re picking an acorn from a tree!
Short sound: E says /ɛ/ like in egg. Squat down low like you’re holding an egg.
Long sound: E says /iː/ like in eagle. Reach up high and spread your arms like an eagle flying!
Short sound: I says /ɪ/ like in igloo. Squat down low like you’re inside an igloo.
Long sound: I says /aɪ/ like in ice. Reach up high and pretend to skate on ice!
Short sound: O says /ɒ/ like in otter. Squat down low and pretend to swim like an otter.
Long sound: O says /oʊ/ like in ocean. Reach up high and imagine you’re a big wave in the ocean!
Short sound: U says /ʌ/ like in umbrella. Squat down low and pretend to hold an umbrella.
Long sound: U says /juː/ like in unicycle. Reach up high and pretend to balance on a unicycle!
Now that you know the sounds, let’s do our vowel sound workout again! Squat down low for the short sounds and reach up high for the long sounds. You’re doing great!
Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be a vowel sound expert. Remember, learning can be fun and active!
Vowel Sound Hunt: Go on a vowel sound hunt around your home or classroom! Find objects that start with each vowel’s short and long sounds. For example, look for an apple for the short A sound and an apron for the long A sound. Share your findings with a friend or family member and practice saying the sounds together.
Vowel Sound Art: Create a piece of art that represents the short and long sounds of each vowel. Use crayons, markers, or colored paper to draw or craft pictures of things like an igloo and ice for the letter I. Hang your artwork in your room or classroom to remind you of the vowel sounds every day.
Vowel Sound Storytime: Make up a short story using words that have both the short and long sounds of a vowel. For example, “An alligator found an acorn.” Share your story with a friend or family member and act it out using the squat and reach movements from the vowel sound workout!
