A,E,I,O,U Vowel Song

Today during our Skills Block we began to learn about the vowels. The students learned that the vowels make two separate sounds. One is the long sound when the vowels say their name. The other is the short sound like in the words: apple, bed, pit, log, and lung. They also learned a song using the vowels. Please have your child sing it for you. It is sung to the tune of BINGO. As you sing the song again, you will not say "A" you will clap in place of it. The third time through, you will clap twice and only say the I O U. Continue until it is all clapping for the vowels. Then end the song with saying all the vowels again.

I can name the vowels for you
and you can name them to - oo
A E I O U
A E I O U
A E I O U
And you can name them to - oo

Ashley sang this song the whole way home and then taught it to her brother and to me.
