Does your toddler or preschooler know the alphabet? Then they can probably teach short vowels to some "Letter Monsters" in a matter of weeks with a little bit of practice.
This skill is designed give parents another way to help very young learners identify long vowels.
Toddler's and preschoolers that know their phonics can read simple three letter words without knowing how to tell the difference between a vowel and a consonant.
So why should your child get to know their vowels as soon as possible? There are many good reasons but perhaps simplest is that virtually every word used in English has a vowel in it.
As your young learner progresses in reading their ability to quickly decipher, or "sound out" more difficult words will impact how quickly and accurately they can read. This impacts reading comprehension and as a result the ability of your child to teach themselves as they get a little older.
Before most young children can read they've heard "Old McDonald had a farm, 'E', 'I', 'E', 'I', '0', many times. Simply knowing that E, I and O are vowels can be helpful. We hope this skill is also a helpful tool for you and your child to find another way to make learning short vowels fun.
