About this worksheet
Kids color the pictures with the long i sound, write the missing i_e letters in four picture words and circle the long i words next to short vowel look-alikes. Words on the page include nine, dice, slide, bike, kite, ride, time. Answer key on page 2. First graders can read it on their own and ask for help only with the trickier words.
On this sheet
A silent e at the end makes i say its name: kit, kite. Color the pictures with the long i sound. Write the missing vowel letters. Circle the long i words.
Tips for using it
- Read a short word and its silent e partner side by side: tap, tape; kit, kite.
- Teach one vowel team at a time and keep a key picture for it: ai rain, ee tree, oa boat.
- When a child reads a long word as short, cover the e and uncover it again so they hear the change.
