MCDOWELL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: Time for a wedding!


What a better way to learn a vowel rule than with a wedding!

Mrs. Hutchison's second-grade readers at McDowell Elementary School were learning to read words with two vowels together using the saying, 'when two vowels go walking the first one does the talking.'

A memorable way to remember this is by having students pair up and get married. Each couple represents the two vowels together and the bride does the talking. The phrase 'ladies before gentlemen helps students remember the concept.
