Match Short E Words to Their Pictures

Read every word choice aloud and stretch the middle sound, like baaag. Then ask which one names the picture. Some pages show words in capital letters, so point out that BAT and bat are the same word.

Draw a line from each short e word to its picture, such as pen, net, jet, nest and sled. The directions on the page read: An adult reads the words aloud. Read each word and listen for the middle sound. Draw a line from each word to its picture. The page opens with a worked example, and an answer key is included.

Yes, both. We made it for Preschool letter sounds, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation.

In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

25 printable worksheets, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for preschool children, roughly ages 3-5. Start with the first few pages, use the free preview to judge the fit, and come back to harder ones as your child gets steadier.

No. Most pages ask children to circle, match, color, or cut and paste, and a grown-up can read the instructions aloud. Pages that do ask for letters, like letter tracing, start with tracing over dashed guides.
