How to teach Short Vowels
Using this Short Vowel Activity, students play Vowel Owl to practice listening and identifying short vowels in words.
Short vowel sounds are the foundation to your students reading ability. They can be found in basic CVC words and sight words. This activity will give your students practice with short vowel sounds so they can become strong readers!
Shuffle the vowel owl cards and deal to 4 or 5 students. Place the vowel mats in the middle of the group. Players roll the die to land on a vowel and look through their cards for a picture with that vowel sound. Players take turns rolling the die and placing cards on the vowel mats. If a player has more than one card with the same vowel sound, they may place multiple owl cards on the mat. The first player to get rid of all their owl cards wins! Check the answer key to make sure your vowel owls are on the correct mat.
