QuoteI was taught in school that the vowels are A, E, I, O, U, and sometimes Y and W.
Me too also....but WHEN is W a vowel?!?! ???

SUBSTITUTE VOWELS 
It is finally time to introduce the substitute vowels. We simply tell the children that Y and W can sometimes be vowels.

When is W a vowel?

When w follows o, and the o says it's name, the w is acting like a vowel (follows double vowel rule above).

In these words: cow, town, brown, etc., w is a consonant.

In these words: tow, low, bowl, etc., w is a vowel. Notice the o is long and the w is silent.

Like the oo words, we don't fuss over the difference, but just practice some words and let the child get used to them.

When is Y a vowel?

Y acts as a vowel when it comes at the end of a word. It follows the double vowel rule in words that end with the following:

Words ending in -ay have the long a sound, such as pay, May, play, etc.
