Vowels and consonants worksheet for learning letter sounds and word analysis.

Problem Description:

The task involves identifying vowels and consonants in various words based on their positions (first letter, middle letter, or last letter). The goal is to write "v" for vowel and "c" for consonant after each word.

Solution:

#### Step 1: Understand the Task
- Vowels: a, e, i, o, u
- Consonants: All other letters of the alphabet.
- The task requires analyzing specific letters in words and determining whether they are vowels or consonants.

#### Step 2: Analyze Each Part of the Task

##### Part 1: Look at the first letters in these words
Write "v" for vowel or "c" for consonant after each word.

1. the - First letter is "t" (consonant) → c
2. end - First letter is "e" (vowel) → v
3. in - First letter is "i" (vowel) → v
4. get - First letter is "g" (consonant) → c
5. up - First letter is "u" (vowel) → v

##### Part 2: Look at the middle letters in these words
Write "v" for vowel or "c" for consonant after each word.

1. big - Middle letter is "i" (vowel) → v
2. bus - Middle letter is "u" (vowel) → v
3. and - Middle letter is "n" (consonant) → c
4. you - Middle letter is "o" (vowel) → v
5. she - Middle letter is "h" (consonant) → c

##### Part 3: Look at the last letters in these words
Write "v" for vowel or "c" for consonant after each word.

1. see - Last letter is "e" (vowel) → v
2. want - Last letter is "t" (consonant) → c
3. with - Last letter is "h" (consonant) → c
4. who - Last letter is "o" (vowel) → v
5. new - Last letter is "w" (consonant) → c

#### Step 3: Final Answers

1. First Letters:
- the → c
- end → v
- in → v
- get → c
- up → v

2. Middle Letters:
- big → v
- bus → v
- and → c
- you → v
- she → c

3. Last Letters:
- see → v
- want → c
- with → c
- who → v
- new → c

Final Answer:

\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{ll}
\text{First Letters:} & \text{the (c), end (v), in (v), get (c), up (v)} \\
\text{Middle Letters:} & \text{big (v), bus (v), and (c), you (v), she (c)} \\
\text{Last Letters:} & \text{see (v), want (c), with (c), who (v), new (c)}
\end{array}
}
