Short Vowel Sounds Review Worksheet, Three Activities
All five short vowels, three different exercise formats: the short vowel sounds review worksheet gives early readers plenty of practice without repeating the same task twice.
The page opens with a rule reminder in a soft blue box, listing a, e, i, o, and u before jumping into the exercises. Section one uses five color-bordered picture boxes showing an apple, a bed, a pig, a cardboard box, and a smiling sun, each with a blank line underneath.
Section two moves to a classic circle-the-vowel format across ten words, and section three asks students to fill the missing letter inside CVC words matched to small clipart images. The short vowel sounds review worksheet builds from recognition to recall, making it a natural sequence for an early phonics lesson. The layout is uncluttered, with generous white space around each item so young writers have room to work.
Identify, circle, and fill in the blank: this short vowel sounds review worksheet covers all five vowels with picture clues.

Usage Notes
Colored pencils work well for circling vowels in section two without bleeding through the page. A thin washable marker is a good call for section three blanks, where the letter spaces are small but clearly defined. Gel pens are fine for older students filling in answers, though chunky markers may overwhelm the compact clipart in section one.
Printing Tips
At 100 percent scale the writing lines land at a comfortable size for small hands. Dropping to draft or economy ink mode keeps the background white and the colored clipart readable without burning through a cartridge.
