Learning short vowels can be fun and engaging for kids, especially with the addition of interactive flashcards! Start by explaining that vowels—A, E, I, O, and U—are special letters found in almost every word. Teach each short vowel sound one by one: A sounds like “aah” in cat, E sounds like “eh” in red, I sounds like “ih” in sit, O sounds like “aw” in dog, and U sounds like “uh” in sun. Encourage children to repeat the sounds and practice words aloud.
