How to Teach Vowels

Houston Day care

Vowels are the mainstay of any language; they are the sounds you sing in words. If you want to teach a child to read, you need to know how to teach vowels.

Start with the names of the vowels
One easy way to teach the vowels is by changing the words to “Old MacDonald Had a Farm.” (Don’t worry, Mr. MacDonald is fine with it.) When you teach this song to your child, skip the random “e, i, e, i, o” and swap it out for the names of the vowels “a, e, i, o, u.” You can start this very early–and it creates a “memory peg” to make formally learning the vowels much easier later on.

Make the vowels visually distinct
The best way to teach letters is to start with three-dimensional, tactile letters that a child can touch and feel. Sets that have the vowels in a different color will help your little learner group these special letters together.
