Instructional Ideas
  • Have kids circle each word that includes the short /e/ sound
  • As they read, learners can highlight or underline the answers to the reading comprehension questions
  • Read the poem out loud, repeating the short /e/ words for extra practice
Classroom Considerations
  • Not every /e/ sound in the poem is a short /e/ sound, so learners will need to pay close attention when identifying words that include the short /e/ sound

  • Includes quite a few examples of the short /e/ sound for learners to identify and practice
Cons
  • This does not come with an answer key; however, answers should be fairly straightforward to determine
