Short A and Long A Worksheets – CVC and CVCe

My Kindergartner and I have worked and worked on mastering CVC words this school year. I would not say that they are mastered, but we are working diligently on them each day.

I tried to introduce the long a vowel sound, but it led to a bit of confusion. I put that learning on hold just a few weeks and we pressed on with more CVC activities.

This past week, I tried introducing Long A again, and it was met with a bit more success! My son does have quite a bit of trouble differentiating the short and long A sounds, so that is what we will practice this coming week.

Because I had a hard time finding just CVC and CVCe words in one packet, I made him a worksheet set. I hope you will find it helpful for your beginning readers also!

Short A and Long A Vowel Sounds

In this worksheet packet, you will find only Short Vowel A CVC words and Long Vowel A CVCe words. Words like ‘cane’ or ‘wave.’

I will have another packet available at a later date that includes other Long A vowel teams such as ai or ay. I didn’t include those pages in this set as to not muddy the waters.
