Sounding out Consonant and Vowel

All the vowels are going to look the same, but the vowels will sound different depending on a particular consonant.

What you have to do here is; say the consonant and the vowels you have learned from the previous lesson together.
You take the first sound you hear from the consonant and add the vowel to it.

For example:
Take the consonant "GAR" and the vowel "AH". GAR + AH = GAH

For example:
Take the consonant "GAR" and the vowel "OH". GAR + OH = GOH

For example:
Take the consonant "GAR" and the vowel "A"(long 'a' sound as in pay). GAR + A = GA

You do this for all the vowels you have learn with every consonants you have learn.
You will hear my mommy say the consonant, then the vowel and the consonant and vowel together.
For example: "AR sat AH. AH"
"GAR sat AH. GAH"
"TDAR sat OH. TDOH"
"sat" denouces a vowel is going to be introduce.

Notice, the "AR" consonant does not change its sound when it is sounded together with the vowel. It just takes the plain vowel sound. Use the formula and you'll see.
