MBug has been slowly working her way through Reading the Alphabet this past school year {We are officially on Lesson 16}. And while she has mastered consonant sounds, she has had a little more trouble learning short vowel sounds. So far, we’ve only really focused on short a
{lessons 6-7} and short i {lessons 13-14} from Reading the Alphabet, but even those she sometimes confuses. So I created some FREE short vowel sounds wall charts {download link towards the middle of this post} along with some other short vowel resources {read more about the extended pack towards the end of
this post} to help her and I’ve already been amazed at the progress I’ve seen! *The free download can be found towards the END of this post. Click on the teal download button for the PDF.

What Are The Short Vowel Sounds?So what are short vowels anyway? Well, when I searched for a definition I found this: A short vowel word is any word that does not allow the vowel within it to generate that vowel’s long vowel sound. c/o Your Dictionary So the general rule is that a short vowel is the vowel that doesn’t say its name. Think con vs cone- the first word doesn’t allow the vowel to say its name, while the cone allows /o/ to say its name. Although both my kids learned all the sounds of each vowel, we still emphasized the short vowel sounds first. Now I cannot tell you why you have to learn short vowels first as opposed to long ones. I can tell you that’s just how it’s done and that is how Jael learned how to read. Caleb is now working on all the vowel sounds but we are emphasizing the short ones.
