Short e Vowel Rhyming

Goal

Letter Sounds: L.K.2.C / L.K.2.D

This exercise introduces short words with "e" vowel sounds using words the students may already be familiar with. Our goal is to encourage students to develop phonemic awareness by repeating rhyming words with the short "e" vowel sound.
