MBug has been slowly working her way through Reading the Alphabet this past school year {We are officially on Lesson 16}. And while she has mastered consonant sounds, she has had a little more trouble learning short vowel sounds. So far, we’ve only really focused on short a {lessons 6-7} and short i {lessons 13-14} from Reading the Alphabet, but even those she sometimes confuses.
So, I created some FREE short vowel sounds wall charts {download link towards the middle of this post} along with some other short vowel resources {read more about the extended pack towards the end of this post} to help her and I’ve already been amazed at the progress I’ve seen!

Short Vowel Sounds Wall Charts
Included in this free pack are 10 wall charts: 5 short vowel charts for print script and 5 for manuscript print. The purpose is to help remind kids of the short vowel’s sounds. Since children typically develop an ear for beginning sounds first, I thought including pictures with short vowel sound at the beginning would be the easiest for her to hear.
Below is the short a vowel sound wall chart with apple, alligator, and astronaut. To make them more durable, I printed them all on cardstock. You can find wall charts for the medial vowel sounds in our Short Vowel Sounds Resource Pack, which you can read more about below.

Have you created a long vowel word chart? I teach first grade and this would be a great companion to your short vowel chart.
April, I am working on a long vowel pack right now! It should be available within the next couple of days. Thanks for the idea! 🙂
