Long and Short E Sort

Get excited to educate yourself on the long and short e sounds! In this worksheet, students will be asked to look at 10 pictures of everyday objects, like a belt, a leaf, and a key. They will circle the pictures that have the long e sound and cross out the pictures that have the short e sound. 

Designed for first and second graders, this worksheet is a fantastic choice for students developing their understanding of phonics and vowel sounds. The ability to distinguish between long and short vowel sounds can strengthen spelling as students learn different vowel teams and letter combinations.
