Color the Vowels: Short and Long A

Children identify words with long and short A sounds in this fun coloring worksheet. Students learn that a long A sound can be found in words like "ape," and a short A sound can be found in words like "rat." They will then find and color in the long A and short A words in a playful illustration of a cat, a rat, and a cake. Designed for a first grade literacy curriculum, this worksheet is an appealing, hands-on way for children to learn about grammer, phonics, and spelling patterns.
