Sing the vowel sounds
Use a vowel song with an action, like cracking an egg for short e. Kids do the motion every time they say the sound. When they get stuck reading, the motion jogs their memory.
Why it works: words set to a repeating melody are easier to recall than the same words spoken (Wallace, 1994).
