Classifying Words

Worksheet Description

The “Short and Long E Word Sort” worksheet is a valuable resource designed to help students practice distinguishing between short and long “E” vowel sounds. This phonics worksheet consists of a word box containing various words, and students are tasked with sorting these words into two columns: “Short E Words” and “Long E Words.”

1. Students will find a word box with a mix of words, some featuring short “E” sounds (e.g., “pen”) and others with long “E” sounds (such as “tree”).
2. Below the word box, there are two columns labeled “Short E Words” and “Long E Words.”
3. The objective is for students to correctly categorize each word by writing the words into the appropriate columns based on the vowel sound they hear.
4. This activity not only reinforces students’ understanding of short and long “E” sounds but also enhances their vocabulary and spelling skills.
