Phonics #6

·         Y’s are vowels when they are pronounced as i’s or e’s; and W’s are vowels when they are combined with another vowel.

·         The most common vowel-consonant pattern is that of CVC (Consonant-Vowel-Consonant), in which the Vowel represents its short sound.

·         When one-syllable word has two vowels, one of which is the final e, the e is silent and the first vowel usually represents its long sound.



      This reading portion spoke of the vowels and their sounds.  The vowels include a, e, i, o, u and sometimes y and w.  Vowels, depending on the form of the letters, can have long or short sounds.  Vowels can also be silent.
