Is your child having trouble hearing the middle sound in CVC short vowel words? Try these free clip cards!
My four-year-old is working on reading CVC words. Recently, it clicked! I created these CVC vowel clip cards to help him listen for the sound in the middle of the words.
I figured the cards would be no problem at all, and was creating them more for your use than ours.
I was surprised that these were a bit of a challenge! Yay – we get to use them after all. 🙂
Listening closely for that middle sound – and then identifying the letter that spells it – really made him think.
Have you heard of phonemic awareness? It’s super important for kids to have, and it includes a variety of skills. One of these skills is the ability to isolate and identify sounds in words. These CVC vowel clip cards are great for that!
Plus, these cards are helping him develop his spelling ability. It’s been so fun to see him write during his play time… and include those middle vowels!
I hope you can use these clip cards at home or in the classroom!

These are great! It is possible to make them in long vowels? Identifying the vowel is such an important skill to work on!

Hi, thank you very much for all the printables you make available for printing. It does put fun into learing. My son went from getting 4 out of ten to getting 8 out of 10 for his spelling tests. Thank you so much❤️
Heather Groth, Customer Support
Thank you for sharing that, Aileen! He is blessed to have you working with him!

Thank you so so much. My son has moved from Montessori to a regular school and he is struggling with spellings and reading. He is 5 years old. He loves to learn via games but not typical class-room sessions. I am downloading almost all your freebies so I can work with him and bring him up to speed. Thanks again!
Anna G
This is so great to hear, Krupa! Thank you so much for your comment.

Thank you. I love your website – so many fantastic resources (e.g. ice cream sound sort)! It’s great the activities are free too.
My four-year-old loves your short vowel cards. However, it would be nice to have long vowel sound clip cards too, so he could sort the cards into the short and long sound after identifying the vowel. Perhaps using the visual of a short and long worm?
Anyways…just a thought. I know you already have other games to teach short and long vowel differentiation.
Thanks again.
Anna G
Thanks for that idea! I’ll put it on my “to make” list. 🙂
