first does the talking? I was trying to teach my daycare kids words as we were learning about vowels. One of my kids was making a birthday list and wrote he wanted a 200 pece puzzle. I said he spelled it wrong and when I spelled it piece he goes he didn't hear the "I". So then I started to reflect the vowel poem but I couldn't remember the part about the vowels i and e.

Two Vowels Together



(to the tune of "Frere Jacques/Where is
Thumbkin/Are You Sleeping?")

I see two vowels (point to eyes)
I see two vowels,
I hear one (point to ears)
I hear one
First one does the talking (point to mouth)
Second keeps on walking (walk fingers)
Yes, indeed!
Yes, indeed!

Can you hear it?
Can you hear it?
Braid and beat
Goat and feet
I can hear just one vowel.
Do you hear just one vowel?
Yes, indeed!
Yes, indeed!

Please be careful with spelling rules like that! The rule you have mentioned does not work for the word "piece." If it did, you would hear the letter "i" because it is the first of the two vowels.
