Vowels includes 144 challenges: 12 cards with 12 challenges on each card. Each card is SELF-CORRECTING.

To complete a card, children look at a picture and listen for the vowel sound as they name the picture. Then children match the sound with the written letter. Understanding the correspondence between letter and sounds is the basis of phonics instruction and helps children recognize familiar words and decode new words.
