4. Short Vowels in My Head 1:24

This brilliant song teaches the 5 short vowel sounds of the English Alphabet.  In this song, children learn the short vowel sounds associated with the beginning of words like 'a' for apple, 'e' for egg, 'i' for igloo, 'o' for orange and 'u' for umbrella.

Phonics-based programs for learning to read are very well supported with evidence-based research.  Using this song as a resource in your classroom, at home or for tutoring will definitely help support your child or student to learn to read and spell using a phonics-based approach.  I trust you will be very surprised by how simply and quickly children will retain their short vowel sounds as they sing, dance and learn using this gorgeous little song.
