Identify Vowels Worksheet: Circle the Correct Vowel!
This worksheet sharpens phonemic awareness in children ages 4-6 by having them say a picture's name aloud and isolate which vowel sound — a, e, i, o, or u — appears in the middle. Vowels are the trickiest sounds for early readers to hear clearly since they blend into surrounding consonants, so focused practice like this builds a skill that pays off directly in future decoding and spelling.

How to use this worksheet
Look at one picture at a time and say its name slowly and clearly together, stretching out the vowel sound in the middle. Ask your child which vowel they hear — you can offer the five vowel sounds as a quick menu if they're unsure — before they circle the correct letter. Move through the page picture by picture rather than all at once, and have your child repeat the whole word aloud once they've circled their answer to confirm it sounds right.
