Short Vowel Sounds Revision Activities

Would you like to have a set of activities that revises the short vowel sounds in a variety of ways that are fun, interactive and engaging? This set of activities is ideal for consolidating Grade 1 phonics at the start of Grade 2. It includes a building words activity, a colour by sound worksheet, a word ladder, a word search and an “I spy” worksheet/game. The building activity gives learners the opportunity to engage with the phonics words and phonics sounds in a hands-on way that is practical and gives learners a concrete experience of what they have learnt in their phonics lessons. The colour by sound is a fun activity that provides a finished product that can also be put up to display once completed. The word ladder involves higher order thinking and problem solving and it can be used to extend and challenge your learners. There is a word search included for an engaging activity that will give your learners a sense of achievement and satisfaction as they practice their phonics sounds. Lastly, there is a game of “I spy” to use as a worksheet and then a suggestion for a further extension is given on the worksheet for learners to make up their own clues for each other.
