Vowels as Leaders: The Reading Strategy Most Worksheets Miss

Think of a word starting with ‘A’—apple. ‘E’—egg. ‘I’—igloo. For new readers, this is a big step! Most worksheets focus on vowels in the middle of words, but books often start with vowels. Without practice, kids may freeze.

The Find Beginning Vowel Words Worksheet solves this. It teaches kids to use the first sound as their reading clue.

In my experience, this skill boosts confidence. A child sees “I” at the start of “inside” and thinks, “I know /ǐ/! I can read this!”

This worksheet builds three skills:

• Visual Scanning: Spotting vowels at the start of words.
• Sound Integration: Linking A, E, I, O, U to their sounds.
• Decoding Foundation: Giving the first clue to read new words.

Start with excitement: “Vowels can be leaders! Sometimes they come first. Let’s find them together.”

Step 2: The “Say and Listen” Method

For each word:

1. Look: Check if the first letter is A, E, I, O, or U.
2. Say: Read the word out loud and listen for the beginning sound.

Step 3: Connect to Real Reading

Example: “You found ‘up’ starting with ‘U’. In a story, if you see ‘under’, you know it starts with /ŭ/ just like ‘up’. That’s your reading clue!”
