Phonics is the understanding of the different sounds that letters make. Vowels are a type of sound in English.
The English language is full of vowel sounds. This article will cover the short i sounds vowels that are used in the English language and how they are pronounced.
There are five vowel sounds that are used in the English language. These vowels include: a, e, i, o and u.
The vowels a, e, and o can be long or short in duration depending on the word they are being used with.

Phonics is a technique for teaching children to read and write.
It is based on the principle that words are made up of individual sounds (phonemes) and that these sounds can be blended together to make new words.
Like the build a word mat below, this one helps kids use their sounds and phonics to build words that are emphasised in this lesson. Lesson 1 was on short a sound word list.
