Note

• Please review the anchor chart with the students and assist them in reading.

• Since it can be overwhelming to remember all the consonants, let's focus on the vowels first.

• Together, let's read "a, e, i, o, u" out loud. Additionally, asking students about the vowels in their first or last names could be a fun activity!
