Vowels Valley

Terri Walsh, a kindergarten teacher in a primary school in Kentucky, suggested that I add this page and she even gave it a name! Thanks, Terri, for the great idea! I'm open for suggestions and requests for new items to add to this page. Just email me at carl1404@msn.com.

  


Bossy R

“Bossy R”

Bossy R is always looking behind him to see if there’s a vowel that he can boss around. Use this graphic to remind your students of Bossy R’s powerful persistent personality! They’ll remember the r-controlled rule with ease (and a little bit of humor).  Add him to your bulletin board with a speech bubble that portrays his control over vowels.

(This revised poster was contributed to the site by Francie Fitz. Thanks, Francie! I love the way you added the anchor pictures.)

"Ants" Song ¯¯

Ants! Ants! Ants!
(To the tune: “Three Blind Mice”)

Ants! Ants! Ants!
Ants in my pants!
Ants! Ants! Ants!
I dance and prance!

Now I know there’s a chance that I never will
Sit right down on a red anthill.
My bottom feels like a fire drill
From ants, ants, ants!

The "A" Song  ¯¯

The “A” Song
(Tune: ”Down by the Station”)

“A” can make two sounds, and the first one is the short sound.
“A” can make two sounds, just imagine that!
Open up your mouth and say /a/  /a/  /a/  /a/  /a/  /a/.
Alligator, actress, and acrobat.

“A” can make two sounds, and the first one is the short sound.
“A” can make two sounds, just imagine that!
See if you can find some to share with one another.
Look for apple, ant, and astronaut!

Say My Name! (Long A Song)  ¯¯

Say My Name!
(Tune: Polly, Wolly, Doodle)

Oh, I go to school and I learn my letters,
Sing the ABC’s every day!
But some of the letters have more than one sound,
And you have to learn to say them each way!

Say his name! Say his name!
Say it: a, a, a, a, a!
Now he has a funny friend named Silent e,
And together they make words all day!

O has such a silly sound!
It makes your mouth
Small and round.

What a letter!

Pucker up for letter O,
There you go,
Now you know.
Make a face and you’re a pro
To name this letter.
