Short vowel words

I LOVE using learning mats – they are so much fun for kids and best of all, they are quick to setup and play! Use these mats / strips to help kids learn to read and identify rhyming and CVC short vowel words. We know that with learning, repetition and practice is key. Kids will be motivated to find and use and manipulate magnetic letters to identify their CVC words short vowel sounds using these fun penguin Valentine themed cards. After you’ve printed and laminated (optional) the cards and the mats, place the strips on the table and show the kids what they need to do. They choose a card and read the short vowel CVC word on the bottom of the strip, they then find and match magnetic letters to build new words that belong to the same word family. They continue to do so until they have found all the matches for that card. Encourage them to say the word on the card as they look for the new CVC word family words.

CVC words can be difficult for kindergarten kids. Encourage them to work on their reading and rhyming skills with this set of fun cards!
