50+ Phonics and Reading Skills Workbook – Long and Short Vowels

Over 50 Teacher Made Phonics, Long and Short Vowel worksheets, games and activities. 

The printable activities you will find in this workbook are designed to focus on the vowel sounds   in English.   These short and long vowel sounds are an integral part of phonics instruction. We have   over 50 worksheets   and activities to help practice and master these often tricky sounds. We   have included  some revision   materials to remind students and children about short vowels and constructing simple CVC words. Then   we   move onto the differences between long and short vowel sounds. There is a considerable focus on this as it   can take a little time for students to fully master these important skills.

We have also included worksheets and activities for long vowel patterns and phonics rules included   ‘’magic/silent e’’, r-controlled vowels, vowel digraphs and diphthongs and how Y can make vowel sounds
