Long Vowel Supergirl

We have been working on elongating our vowels and increasing our breath support for a while.  Each growth spurt if it difficult again to support out vowels.  One example is "E", without proper support is collapses to "ish".

We blow things; bubbles, bubbles in our drink, cotton balls through straws, paint, whistles, recorders, etc.

Yesterday we flew in the air like super girl as long as we held our vowels.  This was an outstanding motivator and may have resulted in the longest vowels to date.   Combining big gross motor movements with speech seems to make a big difference.
