Short Vowel Worksheets – Medial Vowels

The cool thing about vowels is that they are among the few letters of the English alphabet that have 2 sounds—long and short.  We have the perfect resource for your students to practice using vowels located in the medial position in CVC words. This grouping of three worksheets is designed for students to look at a picture stimulus, then complete each word by placing the medial vowel sound to complete the word.

Through this activity, students will build phonological awareness by distinguishing between long and short vowel sounds in spoken single-syllable words.
