Roll & write for short vowel words

I love these spelling games because they're for one player! Just print and give your child a die for some short vowel spelling practice.

I created this set of pages to help my Five get practice spelling and writing short vowel words.

I love these spelling games because they're for one player! Just print and give your child a die for some short vowel spelling practice.

You’ll love how simple this is!

1. Give your child a printable, pencil, and die.

2. Have him roll the die.  He will write a word with an ending corresponding to the number on the die.  On the above printable, rolling a two would mean writing a word that ends with “ack.”

3. Show your child how to use the letters, blends, and digraphs to create new words.

4. Set a timer or a set number of words to write so your child knows when to finish.  Filling in every line would be a bit much!

I love these spelling games because they're for one player! Just print and give your child a die for some short vowel spelling practice.

My Five enjoyed this; it was a great activity to keep him busy and learning while I worked with a sibling. In the classroom, you could use it as a center or as quiet work when you finish a spelling lesson.  If you wanted this to be a partner activity, you could have children take turns rolling the die and writing words. They could write in colored pencils if you wanted to see who had written which word.

In the download, you’ll find nine pages:

  • at, an, ag, ad, ap, ab
  • it, ig, in, ill, ip, ick
  • ot, ob, og, op, ock
  • et, en, ell, ed
  • ug, um, un, ut
  • an, un, en, in
  • at, it, ot, ut
  • ag, ig, ill, ell

    Do you think my second grader would learn his spelling words if I do this and he not throwing a temper tantrum???

      I think if you choose words that are at his level so that it’s not too hard for him and teach the words with games, there’s a good chance of that. 🙂

    I LOVE all of your resources, lessons, and tips!! Writing is a challenging subject to teach, but I always feel more confident when I use your resources and lessons. Everything is of high quality, doable, and relevant. I always look to you before I go to other teacher experts, TpT, etc., for guidance.

    Thank you!!!

    I love all of your products! These are great for word work. I teach 2nd grade bilingual and some of my students are very low so being able to make words and read them is just perfect for independent work. Do you have more of these besides the short and long vowels?

    Love your page! I would like to alter this so that the writing space is larger for use in a center (laminated) with Vis a Vis transparency pens. Basically, I would white out every other line, starting with the first. May I have permission to make that change? Please let me know, thanks!
