Worksheet Description

The “Short A vs. Long A Sorting” worksheet is a valuable resource designed to improve students’ phonics skills, specifically in distinguishing between words with short “A” and long “A” sounds. This worksheet is intended for early readers and is a crucial step in building their reading and phonemic awareness abilities.

  1. The worksheet presents a list of words, some with a short “A” sound and others with a long “A” sound.
  2. Students are instructed to silently say each word and listen for the vowel sound.
  3. Based on their auditory discrimination, they are to cut out each word and paste it into the correct box, either “Short A” or “Long A.”

This activity helps students recognize the distinct sounds of short and long vowels while boosting their vocabulary and spelling skills.
