Long Or Short?

Worksheet Description

The “Long A vs. Short A Sound Discrimination” worksheet is a valuable tool for early learners to distinguish between words with long and short “A” vowel sounds. This activity focuses on honing phonemic awareness skills, a crucial component of early literacy.

1. Students are presented with a series of pictures, each representing a word containing either a long or short “A” sound.
2. Their task is to say the name of each picture aloud and determine whether it has a long “A” or a short “A” sound.
3. To demonstrate their understanding, students must circle either “long” or “short” based on the vowel sound they hear in each word.

This worksheet helps students sharpen their ability to recognize and differentiate between long and short vowel sounds, a fundamental skill in phonics and reading.
