Academic Enrichment | week of April 3rd | Tallmadge - Absorbent Minds Montessori School

Vowels and consonants: The students learned to recognize and distinguish vowels from consonants, which is an important step in the development of reading and writing skills. We talked about how all words contain at least one vowel. The students were quickly able to recognize the vowels, which is great because they will have a strong foundation for learning rules and spelling patterns for short and long vowels, final vowels, unaccented vowels, silent vowels and irregular spellings.

**This child is coloring, cutting and pasting vowels and consonants in different fish tanks.**

**This child is looking at objects to compose words. He is using a blue marker to identify the vowels and a red marker to identify consonants in each word.**

**These children are saying the word of an object then phonetically spelling them using the movable alphabet. They are also labeling the vowels and consonants as they practice writing each word.**
