Activity based learning... Vowels for kids are the letters A, E, I, O, and U, which are essential for forming words because they are the sounds that can be made without blocking the airflow with the tongue or mouth. Teaching with visual and kinesthetic activities are effective ways to help your students with short vowels sounds.
