Product description

From the author

Are your students learning to read short vowel words? Do your students need picture supports when blending sounds to read words? This set with 19 Short e Word Cards with Pictures is just what your students need. All words are cvc words.

Includes 2 fill in the blank worksheets with and without work banks. Words needed to fill in the blanks are the words on the word cards. Worksheets without the word banks offer students a more difficult challenge. Worksheets provide extra practice for learners to use the words in context. Use the worksheets with the work cards or separately for morning work or homework. Also works well in a literacy center.

These cards are perfect for building vocabulary with bright, bold, fun clip art. My English learners love these cards.

Word Cards may be printed in color or in black/white.

There are 6 cards per page. Print 4 pages for all 19 cards.

Includes the following words: web, bed, red, wed, peg, leg, hem, den, hen, men, pen, ten, jet, net, pet, set, vet, wet, gem.

These cards are versatile. Look at all the ways you can use them-

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Blend and read one-syllable words with a short-e medial vowel

  • Use a picture to confirm the meaning of a decoded word

  • Select a short-e word that completes a sentence meaningfully

Teaching tips

  • Begin with a small card group and ask learners to blend the printed word before revealing or discussing the picture clue.

  • Use the word-bank worksheet first, then return to the parallel open version after the card vocabulary is familiar.

  • Sort cards by final consonant or rime to compare how the short-e sound remains stable across different words.

Skills covered

  • Short-vowel decoding — learners blend consonants around the medial short-e sound.

  • Picture-word association — images provide semantic confirmation for the printed vocabulary.

  • Contextual word choice — sentence meaning narrows which target word belongs in a blank.
