5 worksheets, one for each vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u). The worksheets contain a large letter showing the vowel sound and then lots of pictures, children need to circle the pictures that have the correct corresponding vowel sound in the middle of the word.

Why do you need this?

Understanding short vowel sounds is fundamental to strong literacy skills, it lays the foundation for their early literacy skills and paves the way for successful reading and spelling. The ability to recognize and differentiate between short vowel sounds helps children sound out words, enabling them to read new and unfamiliar words with accuracy.

How and when might you use this?

These five worksheets immerse students in focused short vowel recognition using visuals and interactive searching tasks. Isolating each sound, a, e, i, o and u, through pictures and circling deepens early literacy abilities.

These worksheets can be used in a variety of ways:

· During small group phonics sessions

· Independent work stations or literacy centers

· Homework practice

· Guided reading groups

Launch creativity into orbit with Outer Space Roll a Story! This imaginative writing activity takes students on an out-of-this-world storytelling adventure with space-themed characters, problems, and settings.

Contents:
With Outer Space Roll a Story, students use a dice to randomly select the characters, story problems, and settings for their space-themed story. This activity includes:

• 6 Characters: Students might encounter astronauts, aliens, space pirates, and more!
• 6 Problems: Will they face an alien invasion, get lost in space, or tackle another cosmic dilemma?

• Lined Story Paper Options: After rolling, students can organize and expand their ideas on lined paper, outlining and then drafting their unique space adventure.

How It Works:
Students will roll a dice three times—once for each story element—to build a completely randomized story prompt. With character, problem, and setting in hand, they move on to the included lined paper to outline and write their stories. This process sparks creativity while reinforcing story structure in a fun, hands-on way.
