Worksheet Description

The “Short and Long E Sound Sorting” worksheet is a fun and interactive way for students to practice differentiating between words with short “E” (as in “pen”) and long “E” (as in “bee”) vowel sounds. This hands-on activity helps improve phonemic awareness, spelling, and reading skills.

1. Students will find a list of words, each containing either a short “E” or long “E” sound.
2. Their task is to carefully listen to the pronunciation of each word and determine whether it has a short “E” or long “E” sound.
3. After deciding the category, students will cut out each word and paste it into the corresponding box labeled “Short E” or “Long E.”
4. This activity engages students in actively listening for vowel sounds and reinforces their understanding of different phonetic patterns.
