Short Vowel Cut and Paste Activity....Success!

Knowing the short vowel sounds is essential to great reading.  Since we will begin reading groups in about 6 weeks, I will be reviewing the short vowel sounds often with some cut and paste activities I have created.  I will end this with a final review which is also in my activity pack. Students will work on these individually to allow me to see their understandings/misunderstandings.

Today, as morning work, my students worked on one of my Short Vowel Cut & Paste Activities - specifically the 'a' & 'e' beginning vowels set.  We have been working on the short vowel sounds since the beginning of the year so this was a nice individual review while working those fine motor muscles!

Here is one student very busy.....

 Do you see her warm fuzzy on the table???

 

I often tell my students that short 'e' likes to sound like other letters as it seems to be the trickiest short vowel for my students to conquer.  Often students will say the short 'i' as in indian sound or the short 'a' as in apple sound instead of 'e' as in elephant.  This activity helped me to see which students needed more review and which students had it!

 

 

He's got it!! Yeah, for him!
