What children learn in Level 36
- Welcome to Vowel Village! A, E, I, O, and U are vowels. Every word you read here has one.
- A makes /a/. /a/, apple!
- I makes /i/. /i/, igloo! An igloo is a house made of snow.
- Vowels are often in the middle of a word. Cat: /k/ /a/ /t/. Cat has /a/ in the middle.
- Pig: /p/ /i/ /g/. Pig has /i/ in the middle.
- Try it with a grown-up! Take turns saying words with /a/, like hat and map, and words with /i/, like pig and lip.
