CONSONANTS VOWELS FLIP FOR PHONICS™ ACTIVITIES ACTIVITY 6 - VOWELS (continued) ACTIVITY INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Turn the card to the index, Vowels. 2. Slide the activity selector to the sixth position as shown. You will hear a short tune followed by a random question, for example, "Which letter is the vowel in the word nut?" 3. You can refer to the words located on the cards, which have the vowels color-coded to reinforce this activity. 4. When the correct letter button is pressed, the friendly voice will identify the answer. For example, when you press the letter 'Uu' button, you will hear "U. Good job! U is the vowel in nut." 5. When an incorrect button is pressed, the letter will be identified. For example, if you press the letter 'Aa' or 'Kk' button, you will hear the letter identified followed by a negative sound. "A is a vowel" or "K is a consonant." 6. When the repeat button is pressed, the previous question will be repeated. 7. When the help button is pressed, the answer will be identified. How Can You Help? • Using the letter buttons, point out the letters A , E, I, O, and U. Ask your child if he or she notices what all of these letters have in common. Your child should be able to determine that these letters are in a different color than the rest of the letters. Tell your child that there is a special name for these letters. The special name for this group of letters is vowels. • While reading books, magazines, or signs to your child, draw attention to the vowels in the words. Have your child tell you what the vowel is in a certain word. • Using old magazines, have your child look for vowels in print. Help him or her cut out vowels. Next organize all of the A 's together, E's together, etc. and glue them onto cards which have been labeled for each of the vowels. Keep the learning toy nearby so your child can refer to the vowel buttons. ACTIVITY 7 - CONSONANTS Consonants This activity builds more confidence with consonant sounds. Your child will match a letter sound to the appropriate letter within the context of a word. Your child will have to rely on his or her knowledge of letters and their sounds to identify the letter. 8
