ExplorationCounting Consonants!Think about some of the words you
know how to read or write. Look at them in a book or write them
down on a piece of paper.Count the number of vowels and the
number of consonants in each word you examine. What do you
notice about the number of consonants versus the number of
vowels? Do some words have lots of consonants, while others have
lots of vowels? Do most words seem to have at least a few of
each?? What do you think would be different if there were more
or fewer consonants in each word? Sources & links Bickford, J.
