Words in which short vowels are used do not sound as long as those words that comprise long vowels. Once you've worked through one list of words, be sure to move onto the next one and then mix the words up, having your child read words from different lists.This is basically a short-sounding vowel. Talking about language and words is great! This also opens up an opportunity to discuss what are and aren't 'real' words. For example, when you read the word "cab" with your child, you can start rhyming with words (real or not) like dab, fab, gab, hab, and so on. If you see a word on the list, come up with as many words that rhyme as you can. This is a great way to work on rhyming skills as well. You'll see lots of shorter three letter words, so have your child come up with longer words. Spend some time trying to come up with words that may not be included on the list or even get silly and make up new words that use the correct sound. Start with just one vowel, and work your way through the list, saying each word and really stressing the sound of the vowel.
For starters, go over the different words with your child. There are many ways that you could use these printout. The lists are by no means exhaustive, but I did try to include as many of the simple words as space would allow. I separated each of the word lists into different vowel sounds so you can teach them individually. Don't forget to stress the vowel sound and spend some time practicing just the short sound of the different vowels.įor simplicity of showing how short vowels work, I've included mainly simple three to four letter words. Below you'll find short vowel word lists that you can use to show your child a handful of the words that are a result of short vowels. We would spend time saying different three to four letter words and stress the vowel sound in those words. We had the best luck teaching our kids short vowels by having them say simple words using the short sound. The short vowel sound can be a bit tricky to teach to your child.
