    long vowels say their name and stand up tall. Most long vowels have helper e's at the end of the word.

    This came from another PT user. I hope it helps.

    Short Vowel Song
    (tune: Where is Thumbkin?)

    Where is Short "A" Where is Short "A"?
    Here I am! Here I am!
    I am in a hat rack, cracker jacks, and fat cats.
    "A" "A" "A", "A" "A" "A".

    Where is Short "E" Where is Short "E"?
    Here I am! Here I am!
    I am in a red bed, jelly eggs, and jet sets.
    "E" "E" "E", "E" "E" "E".

    Where is Short "I" Where is Short "I"?
    Here I am! Here I am!
    I am in a big fig, silly Rick and pig wig.
    "I" "I" "I", "I" "I" "I".

    Where is Short "O" Where is Short "O"?
    Here I am! Here I am!
    I am in a hot pot, rocky top and stop clock.
    "O" "O" "O", "O" "O" "O".

    Where is Short "U" Where is Short "U"?
    Here I am! Here I am!
    I am in a dump truck, lucky duck and skunk bumps.
    "U" "U" "U", "U" "U" "U".

    Another PT poster wrote this:

    We sing the vowels song to the tune of BINGO:

    There are five vowels when we read and this is what they're named-O
    A-E-I-O-U,
    A-E-I-O-U,
    A-E-I-O-U
    And sometimes Y.

    Check out other posts about vowels. There have been some good answers to these posts.

    I like to use this website with my little ones. www.starfall.com. It's free, they access it from school and home. It helps with sounds.

    Good luck.
