’Short Vowels in My Head’ Children’s Song

This original, engaging ABC song teaches the 5 short vowel sounds of the English Alphabet. In this song, children learn the short vowel sounds associated with the beginning of words like ’a’ for apple, ’e’ for egg, ’i’ for igloo, ’o’ for orange and ’u’ for umbrella.. This video helps children identify the initial short vowel phoneme (sound) associated with each vowel grapheme (individual letter) which is vital for successful reading, writing and spelling Phonics-based programs for learning to read are very well supported with evidence-based research. Using this song as a resource in your classroom or at home will definitely be supporting children to learn to read and spell out using an educationally sound approach. I trust you will be very surprised by how simply and quickly children will retain their short vowel sounds as they sing, dance and learn using this gorgeous, catchy song.
