This Grade 1 short vowels worksheet challenges first graders to distinguish short vowels from long vowels in tricky pairs like pin versus pine, hop versus hope, and cub versus cube. Four multiple choice questions ask students to pick the CVC word with the short vowel sound, not the silent-e long vowel version. Five fill-in-the-blank sentences reinforce short a, short i, short o, and short u in context, preparing Grade 1 readers for silent-e rules.
