Description
Snowman missing his vowel sound - Can you help? Your little learners become confident readers with this fun, winter CVC activity! In this deck, students listen to a spoken CVC word and notice that the snowman is missing his middle snowball. Their job is to drag and drop the correct short vowel (a, e, i, o, or u) to complete the snowman and build the word. Each card provides clear audio, simple visuals, and high-contrast draggable vowel snowballs designed to keep early readers focused on the most challenging part of CVC decoding — the medial vowel sound. Perfect for winter literacy centers, phonics practice, intervention groups, and independent work! Skills Covered 1. Identifying short vowel sounds in the middle of CVC words 2. Strengthening phonemic awareness (isolating medial sounds) 3. Building CVC decoding fluency 4. Strengthening listening comprehension of spoken words 5. Practicing sound–symbol correspondence What’s Included 1. Drag-and-drop vowel on to the snowman: a, e, i, o, u 2. 35 winter-themed CVC cards (7 for each short vowel) 3. Audio for every word 4. Kid-friendly interface designed for K–2 independence Standards alignment CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.K.2.D, RF.K.3.A, RF.1.2.A, RF.1.3.B
