What children will practise
Practise the vowels อา, อี and อุ, telling short from long (อะ versus อา, อุ versus อู), and knowing that สระอือ without a final consonant is written with อ after it, as in มือ, for reading words aloud correctly (ท 1.1 ป.1/1).
What's in the worksheet
6 multiple-choice questions - Which word uses สระอา: มา / มิ / มุ - Which uses สระอี: ดุ / ดี / ดา - Which uses สระอุ (ปุ) - Which has a short vowel: กะ / กา / กี; which has a long vowel: ปุ / ปู / ปะ - Which uses สระอือ with no final consonant: มี / มู / มือ
How to use it in class
Use after the first set of vowels, 4-5 minutes in solo mode. - Before playing, say pairs กะ-กา and ปุ-ปู, stretching arms for long and pulling them in for short - For items 1 to 3, point to where the vowel sits: after, above or below the consonant - For item 6, write มือ and ถือ on the board and circle the อ Play it linked to a class and the results go into the mark book.
Common sticking points
- Item 6: choosing มี because ◌ี and ◌ื look very alike; check for the อ after it - Item 5: swapping ปุ and ปู, both with the vowel below and differing only by a tail; say them long and short side by side - Item 2: choosing ดุ, a word familiar from home
