Short Vowel And Long Vowel Worksheets. That's the heart of the matter. Young children are filled with curiosity and a natural desire to learn.
The best way to identify the use of a long and short a vowel is to say the word aloud to yourself and ask yourself if the vowel sound is the same as the name of the vowel. With these long vowels worksheets, students from preschool to second grade will learn the long form of each vowel and how to read and write words using long vowels. But long vowels are not a longer version of short vowels.
Below are our phonics worksheets on identifying short vowels.
In most cases, teachers teach short vowels first because they're easier to comprehend.
Students are asked to circle the pictures that have particular short vowel sounds, like the "a" in "bat". If a vowel does not sound like its name, it's a short vowel. When a vowel sounds like its name, it's a long vowel.
