Short Vowels Skill Explainer

Roller Coaster Dictation Sheet

In this activity, students will practice spelling the sound/skill that they’ve been learning. They can also work on handwriting as well as writing words, phrases, and sentences with the sound/skill. The image of the roller coaster serves as a visual aid to help students segment sounds in words before they write.
