A, E, I, O, U and sometimes Y – They are the vowels and the glue that stick the words together. This is a great visual for your classroom and will help your students remember which letters are vowels. It’s also important to teach your students that every word NEEDS a vowel!

Have you heard that cute song from the Leap Frog – Talking Words Factory DVD? (Affiliate Link) If you haven’t you need to! I had my students watch it to review letter sounds at the beginning of the year. It has a catchy little song for vowels that goes like this:
We’re A-E-I-O-U, We’re the vowels! We’re the glue, To stick the words together, We’re very sticky letters! We’re very sticky, Very icky, Sticky-icky letters!
While singing it, I have my students link their fingers together and pretend like they can’t get them apart (like they are so sticky, just like the vowel letters).
