Learning Mats: Short Vowels

Here’s a new fun way to lead children on the road to literacy! Colorful mats and word tiles make learning and practicing phonics fun. Start building a foundation for academic success with the Learning Mats: Short Vowels kit. The kit helps children practice these key reading skills:

• Identify short-vowel sounds and words

• Distinguish the short-vowel sound in words

• Develop automaticity (fluency) in reading words with short vowels

• Write words with short vowels

• Associate short-vowel sounds with common spellings for the five major vowels
