Using Short Vowel Sounds Worksheets

When a vowel is found in a word and it does not sound like the name of the letter itself, it is being expressed as a short vowel sound. Short vowel sounds are found in the majority of words that you will run into. The short vowel sound is more often found in shorter words. You may have instances where two or more vowels appear in a word and one of the vowels has a long sound and the other has a short sound. These worksheets will walk students through the process of breaking down the sounds within words. You will learn how to apply this phonetic skill to a wide variety of applications.
