Swapping With /ĭ/

Worksheet Description

The “Phoneme Substitution” worksheet is a valuable resource designed to boost students’ phonemic awareness skills. Phonemic awareness is fundamental for proficient reading and spelling, and this worksheet offers focused practice in phoneme substitution.

Within this worksheet, students are presented with a specific phoneme substitution task. Their objective is to replace the short vowel sound in each word with the short /ĭ/ sound to construct a new word. Students are prompted to write the newly created word on the designated line.

This exercise encourages students to actively listen to the vowel sounds within words and understand how replacing a single phoneme can result in an entirely different word. It enhances their phonemic awareness abilities, vocabulary, and spelling skills.
