Ask your child to name some words with the long /e/ sound they hear every day. Then, read aloud all the words in the worksheet with them. Ask them to circle the words containing ie that make this sound.
Say "dog" and notice how long it takes to pronounce the vowel. Is it short or long? Compare it to "pea" and use this worksheet to quickly assess your child's mastery. Have them name each picture and listen for the vowel sounds. Only check the boxes for words with short vowel sounds.
