Vowel Sounds Worksheet: Identify and Circle the Correct Vowel!
Children ages 4-6 practice identifying vowel sounds within words by looking at a picture, saying its name aloud, and figuring out which vowel they hear, a specific phonics skill that builds toward independent reading and spelling. Isolating the vowel sound in a word is often trickier for children than identifying beginning consonant sounds, making this a meaningful next step in phonics.

How to use this worksheet
Look at the first picture together and say its name slowly and clearly, stretching out the middle sound so your child can hear the vowel. Show your child the vowel options listed for that picture, and have them circle the vowel they hear in the word. Continue through each picture the same way, encouraging your child to repeat the word slowly each time before choosing the vowel.
