Short E Project for Kindergarten and First Grade CVC pattern practice

Teaching short e is challenging. It’s often confused with short a and short i. This Short E Project helps students learn CVC patterns and short e word families, practice rhyming with short E, with letter formation, and comparing short e with short o and short u?

This short e project will help your students with decoding words in chunks as you work with small groups in kindergarten or in a literacy workstation run by a parent volunteer or teaching assistant.

WHAT’S INCLUDED WITH THE SHORT E PROJECT:

• Cover

The final book is 8 pages in length and will take a week to complete. It requires 2 paper lunch bags to create.

HOW DO THE SHORT E PROJECT ACTIVITIES WORK:

Teachers can use the activities either to make the project as shown in the photos or use them in interactive notebooks. They work well as a review activity once the sound is taught too. Making the book over the period of a week is what I did with small group lessons. Interventionists might find it useful too.
