~10 min

Let's practice everything we've learned: digraphs, blends, syllables, and short vowel sounds.

Reviewing Short Vowel Sounds

Listen for the short vowel sound.

Word: cat

sound 1c
sound 2a
sound 3t

Short vowel sounds are the common sounds a, e, i, o, and u make in words like cat, pet, sit, hot, and rug.

💡 Say the word slowly to hear the short vowel sound in the middle.
