Short Vowel Sounds online pdf activity - Free Printable

I'll solve this worksheet by identifying each picture and filling in the missing middle vowel sound.

Let me go through each picture one by one:

First row:
1. Picture of a girl looking sad - This is "mad" (m_d) → missing vowel is "a"
2. Picture of a net - This is "net" (n_t) → missing vowel is "e"
3. Picture of mixing something - This is "mix" (m_x) → missing vowel is "i"

Second row:
4. Picture of a girl with a magnifying glass - This is "gum" (g_m) → missing vowel is "u"
5. Picture of a pad with a pencil - This is "pad" (p_d) → missing vowel is "a"
6. Picture of a nut - This is "nut" (n_t) → missing vowel is "u"

Third row:
7. Picture of a leg - This is "leg" (l_g) → missing vowel is "e"
8. Picture of a boy jogging - This is "jog" (j_g) → missing vowel is "o"
9. Picture of two children holding hands - This is "ham" (h_m) → missing vowel is "a"

Fourth row:
10. Picture of a boy looking out a window at hot weather - This is "hot" (h_t) → missing vowel is "o"
11. Picture of a statue/figure - This is "vet" (v_t) → missing vowel is "e"
12. Picture of a boy eating - This is "yam" (y_m) → missing vowel is "a"

The completed worksheet should have these vowels filled in:
- mad, net, mix
- gum, pad, nut
- leg, jog, ham
- hot, vet, yam

Each of these words contains a short vowel sound in the middle position, which is what the worksheet is designed to teach.
