About this worksheet
Kids sort twelve pictures into long and short vowel words. Words on the page include cake, kite, bone, bee, goat, flute, cat. Answer key on page 2. First graders can read it on their own and ask for help only with the trickier 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.
