When I learned the vowels, this is what was drilled into to me - "a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes y". I know it's strange, but that is what I was taught.
Y as a Consonant and a Vowel
Sometimes, the letter y is a consonant, and other times it is a vowel. The rule for telling the two apart is simple: The letter y is a consonant when it is the first letter of a syllable that has more than one letter. If y is anywhere else in the syllable, it is a vowel.

Over here we would teach that not as grammar but as sounds in the preparation for reading @ann, as there are lots of combinations of digraphs etc to make the same sound with different spellings when learning to read. ( Perhaps I need to say I would have taught...)
