Short Vowel Sound Phonics Open Ended Worksheets
Short Vowel Sound Phonics Open Ended Worksheets
These simple grids allow for repeated practice of short vowel sounds in an initial consonant/short vowel sound/ending consonant format (CVC). As the children search for the sounds that make up words, their decoding of nonsense words is equally important as their phonemic awareness develops. I begin with the first short a worksheet as a whole group activity. Once directions are clear, I often make grids with letters the children would like to use.
