Today I’m sharing a set of games that you can use to help your learners read short e words. The great thing is that they come in six different levels – perfect for differentiation!

Grab these free roll and read short e games!

Simply print the game of your choice and give it to a pair of students. They can take turns rolling the die and reading the corresponding column. The above image shows the simplest version.

Game 2 is slightly more challenging. Like game one, it has rhyming short e words in each column. But it requires students to read a few more words on each turn.

This one is for your speed readers – it has nine words per column.

If you have readers who are ready to read words with blends and digraphs, Game 4 is for them.

Game 5 adds CVC words to the words with blends and digraphs.

The last two games look simple at first glance, but they include a mix of short e words – no rhyming words here! Your students really have to attend to all the parts of the words.

Suggestions for using these games

  • Use them in a tutoring or homeschool setting by taking turns with your learner.
  • Pass them out, put students in pairs, and use them as a quick review at the end of a whole class phonics lesson.
  • Put them at a fluency center so students can work in pairs to get stronger at reading with automaticity.

    Hi, Anna. First of all, I want to thank you for sharing your precious resources with me. I am a teaching teaching 6 years old kids in English Academy. It was very challenging for me, because I’ve never taught such a low-level. Your resources are very helpful in my classroom. Thanks again and take care!
