What’s Inside Our Vowels Worksheets?

Vowels are the letters in the alphabet that represent open sounds made without blocking the airflow through the mouth. In English, the five main vowels are: A, E, I, O, U.

Sometimes Y is also considered a vowel when it makes a vowel sound, like in the words cry or gym.

Here’s what you’ll find inside these worksheets:

  • Color the Vowel Sounds – Find and color the vowels in words or letters based on short or long sounds.
