Phonics Check: Hear and Mark the Short Vowel
Name:
Date:
Today I am practising: identifying the middle short-vowel sound in CVC words
1
Say cat. Circle a, e, i, o, or u for its middle sound.
2
Say bed. Mark the vowel you hear.
3
Say pig. Mark the vowel you hear.
4
Say log. Mark the vowel you hear.
5
Say sun. Mark the vowel you hear.
6
Write one CVC word for an adult to say; circle its middle letter.
- Read only one word at a time and cover later choices if the page feels busy.
- Keep letter names and sounds separate: ask what sound is heard, then which letter spells it.
- Contrast just two vowels if a child repeatedly confuses a pair.
