                                                                                  Day, Dee, Die, Dough, Due...

Do the bonus three above, like:                                     Chay, Chee, Chie, Choh, Chew

 

2)  Make each of the five short vowel sounds:                 Aaa,  Eh,  ih, ah,  uh

Put the letter "B" in front, so it sounds like these words:  Bat, Bet, Bity, Bot, But  (but without the 't' at the end)

Go on to "C" and more with:                                          Caa, Keh, Kih, Cah, Cuh
