vowel or consonant

by Julia

Oct 21, 2010

I have a student who has difficulty identifying whether a letter is a vowel or a consonant. I am looking for some good review games- preferably online- where he could practice identifying consonants and vowels. My goal is to get him to the point where he can identify the ending pattern for base words and eventually learn to add suffixes appropriately. (For example, he should be able to identify a base words as ending VVC, or VC, or VCe.) Thanks!

arachgold While he's learning them, I would give him a strip of paper containing the vowels. Any letter not on the strip is a consonant. Below are some ideas to help him learn the vowels:

1. Have him say it in a rhythm a,e,i,o,u and sometimes y. He could do something gross motor while saying it: clap, stamp feet, jump, etc.

2. Here's a song:

There was a class at ______________ School Who knew all their vowel letters, a, e, i, o, u and sometimes y.... a, e, i, o, u and sometimes y... a, e, i, o, u and sometimes y Those are the vowel letters.

**Then like with B-I-N-G-O, you clap for each letter as you go through the song.

3. What's Missing Game - Write one vowel on each Post-It note. Work with only two Post-It notes on Day 1.

-Put two Post-Its in front of your student and have your student say the letter names. - Have your student look away while you take away one of the Post- Its. - Have your student look toward you again and ask the student to guess which letter you took away. - Play the game several times. - At the end of the session ask the student to (without looking)write the two letters that are vowels.

Day 2 1. Ask the student if he/she remembers the two vowels on the Post- Its from yesterday. If the student remembers them, add one more Post-It note to the two from yesterday and play the What's Missing Game.If the student doesn't remember them, play the What's Missing Game with only the two from yesterday.

Day 3 and on Continue adding new Post-It notes until all are learned.

4.Create a slap the vowel game. -Write a letter on each index card. Create several of each vowel and one of each consonant. Only include cards containing the few vowels you are working on and a few of the consonants. (Once the student has learned all the vowels, use all the cards.) -Turn the cards upside down and place them in pile between you. Take turns flipping over the cards. If the card is a vowel, slap it. The person who slaps takes all the cards underneath the vowel. (Or, you could play the game by splitting the deck in half and then each of you throws down a card.)

index card I have an index size card that I place on a student's desk. All of the consonants are blue, vowels red. No real reason for the color, except it's the colors that most manipulatives I've purchased use. Most of my students (all dyslexic) need it for a few weeks, and then it becomes automatic.
