Letters<\/a> and sounds<\/a> are two different things: Letters are things you see. Sounds are things you hear.
\nFor example, say the word else. You should hear three sounds in it:
\nThe first sound is spelled by the letter <e> at the front of the word.
\nThe second sound is spelled by the letter <l>.
\nThe third sound is spelled by the letter <s>.
\nNote that the letter <e> at the end of else does not spell a sound.
\nSo you can see four letters, but you can hear only three sounds.<\/p>\n

The standard that <a>, <e>, <i>, <o>, <u> and sometimes <y> are vowels usually works.<\/p>\n

However, <w> can sometimes work with another vowel to make a vowel sound, and <u> can, on rare occasions, act as a consonant. Treating <u>, <w>, and <y> as letters that sometimes work as vowels and sometimes as consonants helps us make sense of spelling.<\/p>\n
