Suggestions of approaches for the teacher

Separate students in pairs and ask them to take turns clicking the vowels.
Stimulate students to read the words according to the images and ask them to copy each on their notebooks.
Then, use those words and ask them to read and illustrate them. If a student struggles with reading some words, ask their classmates to help.
Design materials so students can check when they have questions. Invite them to build a dictionary with those words and put them on the wall. All the words must come with illustrations so kids identify and memorize the words. It is essential to write the words with capital letters and big enough so students can read them any time they want.
Words dictation: Say the word and ask students to write the initial vowel of it.
Illustrated word dictation: show students pictures of objects or animals and ask them to count how many vowels each of the words have.
Elaborate a mural with all the vowels.
Sing songs about the vowels.
Print the vowels and ask students to color or paint them. Use crayons, pens, paint, or coloring pencils.
Make hopscotch with vowels instead of numbers. While students are jumping, ask them to say the vowels out loud.
Plan an activity with a word search.
