We are closing out summer with a challenge focused on vowels!

Examples:


Challenge.....Read a book by an author with a first or last name that begins with A, E, I, O or U.

A middle name or initial that is on the cover also works for this challenge. Here's two examples:


Levels for this month:
1-2 Making a short vowel sound
3-5 Annunciating my vowels clearly
6-8 Speaking long vowel sounds
9+ Shouting Alpha to Omega!

Who's in for this challenge?

I'll see if I fit a couple in for 1-2, Making a short vowel sound. Love the category names! :)

Made it to 9 Shouting Alpha to Omega!

1 A = Amanda (completed 8/3)
2 I = Irene (8/7)
3 A = Andrews, Mesu (8/16)
4 E= Eason, Lynette (8/19)
5 A= Ashlely Clark (8/22)
6 A= Ashley Clark (8/25)
7 A= Ashley Clark (8.26)
8 I = T.I. Lowe (8/27)
9 A= Allison Pittman (8/29)

So many "A's" if there were a few more days in the month I could squeeze in a few more that sit patiently waiting on my TBR shelf
