Short A Words Worksheets

Each vowel can make two different sounds: a short vowel sound and a long vowel sound. Learning the different vowel sounds is an important skill for children!

Short “A” Sound

The short “a” sound is typically found in words where the letter “a” is followed by one or more consonants in a closed syllable. It sounds like the A in the word “cat.” Here are a few examples:

Long “A” Sound

On the other hand, the long “a” sound is the same as the name of the letter “a”. It is often found in words where the letter “a” is followed by a silent “e” or in certain vowel combinations like “ai” or “ay.” Here are some examples:

These worksheets are a fantastic resource for children because they make learning about the A vowel sounds fun.
