Let’s say the vowels loudly:
Vowel Phonemes
• A vowel is a sound in spoken language pronounced with an open vocal
tract.
• The vowels in the English language include; a, e, i, o, u.
• Vowels are contained in every word.
• Learning the vowel sound will help you say and pronounce words
correctly.
• To read and spell effectively, you must be familiar with letter sounds.
• Letter sounds are called Phonemes.
Phonemes
• A Phoneme is the smallest sound unit in a
word.
• For example, all these words have 3 sounds
each:
• cat - /c/ /a/ /t/
• pin - /p/ /i/ /n/
• Phonemes are represented by backward
slashes.
• When a word has
two vowels beside
each other, the
sound of the first
letter is heard,
whereas the sound
of the second letter
is not always heard.
• For example: meat,
dream, speak, etc.
