This slide introduces the concept of the short ‘e’ sound to first graders. Start the lesson by explaining what the short ‘e’ sound is and how it is different from the long ‘e’ sound. Encourage the children to think of any words they already know that contain the short ‘e’ sound. Use visual aids or props if possible to make the lesson more engaging. As you move through the presentation, work with the class to identify short ‘e’ words from a list or a story. By the end of the lesson, the goal is for the students to be more familiar with the short ‘e’ sound and to recognize it in their reading and writing. Plan a variety of activities, such as a word hunt or matching game, to reinforce the lesson in a fun and interactive way.
Exploring the Short ‘e’ Sound
– What is the short ‘e’ sound?
– It’s the ‘e’ in ‘bed’ and sounds like ‘eh’
– Short ‘e’ vs. long ‘e’
– Long ‘e’ sounds like ‘ee’, as in ‘see’
– Examples: ‘bed’, ‘red’, ‘net’
– Words with the short ‘e’ sound are common
– Practice saying the short ‘e’
– We’ll say it together to learn how it sounds

This slide introduces the concept of the short ‘e’ sound to first graders, helping them distinguish between short and long vowel sounds. Start by explaining that the short ‘e’ sound is heard in many words they use daily. It’s important to emphasize the difference between the short ‘e’ sound and the long ‘e’ sound by providing clear examples. Engage the class by saying the short ‘e’ sound together and encourage them to mimic the sound. Use visual aids or gestures to help them remember the sound. Practice with words that contain the short ‘e’ to reinforce learning.
Listening for Short ‘e’ Sound

This slide introduces a listening activity focused on identifying the short ‘e’ sound. Explain to students that they will listen to words and decide if they contain the short ‘e’ sound. Demonstrate the sound for them, using words like ‘bed’, ‘pet’, and ‘net’. Remind them to show thumbs up if they hear the short ‘e’ sound in the word you say, and thumbs down if they do not. This activity helps students to recognize vowel sounds in words, which is a fundamental skill in reading. Make sure to articulate words clearly and repeat the activity with different words to reinforce learning.
Matching Game: Short ‘e’ Sound
– Match words with short ‘e’
– Look at the picture shown
– I will show a picture, think what it is
– Find the matching word
– Choose the word from the list that sounds like the picture
– Listen for the short ‘e’ sound
– Words like ‘bed’, ‘pet’, ‘net’ have the short ‘e’ sound

This slide introduces a matching game to help students recognize the short ‘e’ sound in words. Display pictures that represent words with the short ‘e’ sound, such as a bed, a hen, or a net. Provide a list of words and have students match the picture to the correct word by listening for the short ‘e’ sound. This activity will reinforce phonemic awareness and is a fun way for students to practice their listening and matching skills. For the teacher: Prepare a set of pictures and corresponding words with the short ‘e’ sound. Ensure that the words are simple and familiar to first graders. During the activity, guide the students through the process of sounding out the words and praise their efforts to build confidence.
Short ‘e’ Word Hunt Activity
– Let’s go on a word hunt!
– Find objects with short ‘e’
– Look for items like ‘pen’ or ‘desk’
– Team up and list your finds
– Get ready to share with the class

This slide introduces an interactive classroom activity designed to help first graders recognize and understand the short ‘e’ sound in words. The activity involves students moving around the classroom to find objects that contain the short ‘e’ sound in their names, such as ‘pen’, ‘net’, or ‘bed’. They will work in pairs to encourage collaboration and communication, making a list of the words they find. After the hunt, each pair will have the opportunity to share their list with the class, reinforcing their learning and allowing them to practice speaking skills. As a teacher, facilitate the activity by providing guidance on what the short ‘e’ sound is, offering examples, and ensuring a safe and orderly environment as students move around the room.
Let’s Write Short ‘e’ Words!

– Look at the picture shown
– A picture will be shown on the screen
– Write the word with short ‘e’
– Use your whiteboard to write the word
– Remember the short ‘e’ sound
– The ‘e’ in the word sounds like ‘bed’, ‘red’, or ‘net’
|
This slide is for a class activity focused on writing words with the short ‘e’ sound. Display a series of pictures that represent words with the short ‘e’ sound, such as ‘bed’, ‘pet’, ‘net’, etc. Students will use their whiteboards to write down the word that corresponds to each picture. Remind them to listen for the short ‘e’ sound, which is the same sound they hear in ‘egg’ or ‘elephant’. This activity helps reinforce their phonemic awareness and spelling skills. For differentiation, provide more challenging words for advanced students or offer support by saying the word out loud for those who need it. Encourage students to share their words with the class to build confidence.
