What is the Vowel Valley

Описание: The vowel valley is a chart that helps put this awareness into a visual representation of the mouth movements. In dyslexia education, the vowel valley, or a version of it, has been used for decades. This educational tool is set up based on the mouth placement of the vowel sounds. All vowels are open and voiced in their production, so we need to bring awareness to the mouth placement to assist students in differentiating sounds.

When we explicitly teach phonemes' articulatory features, we are helping to create links between the individual speech sounds and the letter representations. Sound production and mouth formations are key to helping students link the phonemes, those sounds that they hear, to the graphemes, which are the letter representations of those spoken sounds. They also provide students and teachers with cues for error corrections. Explicitly teaching these to our students provides them with the knowledge and ability to analyze sounds in a deeper way.
