Twelve pictures with their words written underneath, each missing its vowel: d_g, s_n, b_d. Children say the word, listen for the middle sound and write the missing vowel. Every vowel comes up at least twice. Because the first and last letters are already there, children practise reading the word as well as hearing the vowel. Page 2 is the answer key.
