Our K-1 teachers use Animated Literacy to teach phonics and the kids learn hand gestures for each of the character sounds. I've noticed that when reading nonsense words they use the hand gestures as they sound out the words. That kinesthetic connection seems to really help.

I personally prefer to concentrate on patterns with chunks, rather than vowels and like what Taborksi described in On Solid Ground.
