Exploring Short E

Worksheet Description

The “Short and Long E Sound Discrimination” worksheet is an engaging phonics exercise designed to assist students in distinguishing between words with short “E” sounds (like “red”) and words with long “E” sounds (such as “tree”). This activity enhances their listening skills, phonemic awareness, and vocabulary while having fun with pictures.

1. Students will observe a series of pictures, each representing a word.
2. Their task is to quietly say the name of each picture and listen for the vowel sound in the word.
3. When they identify a word with a short “E” sound, they should circle it.
4. This exercise encourages students to actively listen to vowel sounds and reinforces their ability to recognize and differentiate between short and long “E” sounds.
