To solve this problem, we need to sort the letters of the alphabet into two groups:
Vowels and
Consonants.
Step 1: Understand the Difference
*
Vowels are special letters that make open sounds when you speak. In English, there are usually 5 main vowels:
a, e, i, o, u. (Sometimes 'y' is a vowel, but in most basic sorting tasks like this, it is grouped with consonants unless told otherwise).
*
Consonants are all the other letters. They often need a vowel to help make a sound.
Step 2: Identify the Vowels
Looking at the list provided in the task:
*
a is a vowel.
*
e is a vowel.
*
i is a vowel.
*
o is a vowel.
*
u is a vowel.
So, the
Vowels box should contain:
a, e, i, o, u
Step 3: Identify the Consonants
Now, we take every other letter from the list and put them in the Consonants box.
The remaining letters are:
* b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y, z
*(Note: The letter 'y' is included here as a consonant, which is standard for this type of elementary worksheet.)*
So, the
Consonants box should contain:
b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y, z
Final Check
Let's count them to be sure.
* Vowels: 5 letters (a, e, i, o, u)
* Consonants: 21 letters (the rest of the 26-letter alphabet)
* Total: 5 + 21 = 26 letters. This matches the full alphabet.

Final Answer:
Vowels: a, e, i, o, u
Consonants: b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y, z
