I love using this resource to review with my students when reviewing their long and short vowels.

I love the sound sort, however I wish the words were a little bigger. The printed words are a bit small for little hands to cut and paste on the paper.

This was a great resource to use for word work center during reading rotations. The directions are so clear that my first graders were able to complete it independently with minimal questions!

My kiddos needed a little more review on short vowels before completing this activity. While using videos was meant to be helpful, I think they needed/required more support prior to working on this activity. Once I have instruction on long vowels I think they will do well with this activity as a review.
