This Medium Kindergarten worksheet builds short vowel skills with nine fill-in CVC words including jet, fan, lip, mom, and nut. Students sort words by their short vowel sound. A matching task pairs four words (van, web, lid, mug) with the correct short vowel. Kindergarten learners strengthen listening, decoding, and spelling skills through fun phonics practice aligned with CCSS RF.K.3b standards.
