Short Vowel Word Work: Short a & Short i

Short a and short i word work for 1st grade: picture and word sorts, vowel-tile word building, a change-one-letter word chain, read-and-match, sentence fill-ins and two decodable passages with questions. Word-family houses for -at, -an, -ap, -it, -ig and -in, plus 16 task cards with a recording sheet, make easy literacy centers. Exit tickets show who can hear, read and spell each vowel.
