This Grade 1 short vowels worksheet introduces short u and reviews short a, short e, and short i through nine fill-in-the-blank sentences and a matching activity. First graders decode CVC words like bug, cup, sun, bus, cat, bed, pig, and dog in context. The matching section pairs each short vowel sound with an example CVC word, reinforcing that short a, e, i, and u each have unique middle sounds in Grade 1.
