  Case: E and I vowel sounds
Teaching ELL students, I have noticed they have a very difficult time learning and remembering the vowel sound of E and I in words. What are some strategies to help them remember the difference between these two vowel sounds?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Associating the sound with words or names will help remember the sounds. For example, icky fingers icky fingers, /i/, /i/ or Ellie Elephant, /e/ /e/.
