LITERACY Lesson 7.

The plain vowels a e i o u

 

 

 Sometimes the vowel sounds a e i o u are not spelled as you would expect.

Here are the different spelling patterns for words with the sounds a e i o u

Common spellings and uncommon spellings

(Tip. It is not so hard to read the uncommon spelling
when you know what the vowel sound is going to be.)
