Phonics Practice for Grade 1: Short Vowel Sounds
Name:
Date:
Today I am practising: Decoding CVC words and matching short vowel sounds to letters.
1
Say the word cat. Which vowel sound do you hear in the middle: a, e, i, o, or u? Write it.
2
Look at these words: sun, bed, pig, top. Circle the word that has the short u sound.
3
Fill in the missing vowel: h_t (a hat), p_n (a pen), s_x (the number 6).
4
Read these words aloud to an adult: map, fin, hop, bug. Then write each word once.
5
Which word does not belong: bat, rat, hat, bike? Explain your answer in one sentence.
6
Write two short vowel words you can find in a book near you and underline the vowel in each.
- Read the directions aloud, let the child say each word slowly, and praise attempts before correcting.
