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. These worksheets give students focused practice isolating vowel sounds in simple CVC words. 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.
