Learning Objective
I can identify short vowel sounds i, o, and u.
Today we will learn how to identify short vowel sounds i, o, and u. Reading and writing help us share our ideas with others.
Vowels are special letters that make different sounds. The vowels are A, E, I, O, and U. Short vowel sounds are: A says /a/ as in "apple", E says /e/ as in "egg", I says /i/ as in "igloo", O says /o/ as in "octopus", and U says /u/ as in "up". Every word needs at least one vowel!
Let's break this down step by step so it's easy to understand. Follow along with the examples, and don't worry if it takes some practice to get the hang of it!
Remember: Making mistakes is part of learning. If something is tricky, try again, look at the examples, or ask for help.
