Our language cannot be spoken without vowels. Unfortunately, vowels have multiple sounds that are difficult for some people to pronounce correctly. The article outlines the types of vowel sounds and how many sounds each vowel can have.
As the article continues, several teaching methods are introduced to teach those from beginner level to expert levels the proper way to use vowels. The article comes with videos, downloadable material, and reference information that are easy to understand, follow, and incorporate into teaching environments; if it is difficult to find a way to teach the subject, several effective ways are explained with materials provided.
Seeing these spellings all gathered in one place is enlightening for those of us who are already proficient readers and spellers. But I would only recommend using the chart for reference, or with an older student who has already mastered most of these phonograms.
