The standard vowels are A, E, I , O, and U.

The semi-vowels are Y and W. The Y takes the place of a vowel, typically I as in the words by, myth, and rhythm. The W forms the diphthong sound ou/ow in words such as how and cow, where the O loses its O sound. In other ow words, the W can be considered silent (blow, show).

What happens to the vowels when you split a word into syllables?

The vowels will usually either go before or after the consonant in that vowel, or sometimes they will be in a syllable of their own. A good way to work out which syllable to put the vowels with, is to say the word really slowly, and picture in your mind where the letters will be going. If a syllable still makes the same sound by itself as in with the rest of the syllables, then you have included the right letters in the syllable. I hope this helps :)
