  • Short Vowels Skill Explainer

Decodable — Zed the Cat

Mixed short vowels decodable zed the cat reading universe

Use this decodable text to give students practice reading closed-syllable words containing each of the short vowel sounds, such as bat, beg, nip, lot, and rubs, where the vowel represents the short sound because it is closed in by a consonant.

Reading Universe is made possible by generous support from Jim & Donna Barksdale, the AFT, the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation, and three anonymous donors.
