This free CVC short e i o u review worksheet gives early decoders structured printable practice contrasting short e (/e/), short i (/ɪ/), short o (/ɒ/), and short u (/ʌ/).
Using two matched-onset quadruplets—den/dig/dog/dug and jet/jig/jog/jug—this 4-page pack targets the two most frequent short-vowel confusions (e/i and o/u) in one classroom-ready workbook.
Teaching ideas
- Pair-by-Pair Vowel Check: Have students compare the front pair (den/dig and jet/jig) against the back/central pair (dog/dug and jog/jug).
- Minimal Triplet Focus (
dig/dog/dugandjig/jog/jug): Ask students to underline the middle vowel before reading each row so they never guess from the first letter. - Trace and Blend: On Page 2, have students say each phoneme aloud as they trace the letters and then blend the whole word smoothly.
- Roll-and-Read Fluency: Use Page 4 with a single die during small-group centers or send it home for two-minute fluency practice.
