Question: How help
students to realize the every word has a vowel?
Answer: Children are
asked to make words without vowels from the 26 letters of the alphabet. They
can’t. Teacher writes a short sentence on the board: “Th- c-t -s f-t.”Students
name the vowels that are missing. Finally, students copy a page from their
reader and black out the vowels. Then the other students try to supply the
needed vowels.
Comment: Sounds like a simple step in learning to
read, yet important. RayS.

a Word, There’s a Vowel.” JJ DeGenaro. Reading
