Winter Long Vowels

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a phonics activity focused on identifying long vowel sounds within words. It features a collection of images, each associated with two choices of vowels underneath. Students are instructed to say the name of each picture aloud and circle the vowel that represents the long vowel sound they hear in the word. The worksheet is themed around winter, as suggested by the images of a snowman, snowflake, and other cold-weather related items.

The worksheet is intended to teach students about long vowel sounds, which are vowel sounds that are pronounced the same as their letter name. By asking students to identify the vowel sounds from visual cues, it reinforces their phonetic awareness and aids in their reading and pronunciation skills. The task of circling the correct vowel sound also helps students to differentiate between long and short vowel sounds in words. Furthermore, the worksheet may serve to expand the students’ vocabulary with winter-related words, tying in seasonal themes with fundamental literacy skills.
