Practise these instead

Teachers: this is free to print, copy and hand out. The only thing we ask is that the source line at the bottom stays on the page.

Read across in rows: a, i, u, e, o. Katakana spells out foreign words, so most of what you meet on a menu or a sign is here rather than in hiragana.
