Vowels are the five essential letters in the alphabet— A, E, I, O, and U — that every child needs to learn for reading and writing. These letters can make two main types of sounds: short vowels and long vowels. Short vowels make quick, simple sounds, like the “a” in cat or the “e” in bed, while long vowels say their own name, like the “a” in cake or the “i” in kite. All the other letters in the alphabet are called consonants, and they work together with vowels to form words.
To help your kindergartener master short vowels, I’ve created these fun and engaging short vowel worksheets. We use animal names like cat, dog, and pig to make learning exciting and relatable for young learners. These activities are perfect for parents and teachers who want free, printable resources to teach short vowels in a hands-on way.
