Quite some time ago, I started sharing four-in-a-row reading games. I had intended to quickly create and publish the sets for all the short vowel words families … and I got a little sidetracked.

That’s because creating and launching an eight-week course about teaching reading takes a good nine months. Thankfully, the first session went well (my colleague and I had 600 students!), and I’m now ready to create and share more freebies on the blog.

So … for all of you who have been patiently waiting – here are the short e four-in-a-row games!

Print these free games for helping your learners master short e words!

If you’ve seen our other four-in-a-row games, you know that each one comes with a game for each word family. To play, take turns reading a word and covering or dotting with a Do-a-dot marker.

The first to get four in a row, wins!

Each word family game comes in a second version – this one with blends and digraphs included.

You’ll also find games like this one – which include multiple word families in a single game.

Perfect for differentiation!

And the last game is a review of all the short e word families.

You get 13 games in the download.

  • ed words
  • ed words (including words with blends and digraphs)
  • et words
  • et words (including words with blends and digraphs)
  • en words
  • en words (including words with blends and digraphs)
  • ell words
  • ell words (including words with blends and digraphs)
  • eck words
  • eck words (including words with blends and digraphs)
  • ed, et, en words
  • ell, eck, et words
  • All short e word families

We hope you enjoy this newest freebie!

P.S. Did you know you can get a free editable game so you can make the words say anything you’d like? Scroll past the download link to learn how!

      What should happen is that when you fill out your name and email address, the files pop right up on the screen. If it’s not working I suggest trying a different browser.
