The problem
Reading bed as bad: a short e problem
Short e sounds close to short i, and children often swap pen and pin. One focused vowel at a time gives it room.
Reading bed as bad
In pen the e sits in the middle, the hardest sound to hear, so a child leans on the first letter instead.
Spelling pen as pin
With no set box for each sound in red, the vowel is the one that gets lost or swapped.
Skipping the middle sound
Quick reading skips the vowel, so words like red come out wrong and the child does not notice.
Pictures, word building, sound boxes and sentences, all for short e. Children say the sounds, place them, then read words in a line.

Before you buy.
Can I teach short e before the other vowels?

Can I print it more than once?
Yes. One teacher or one household can print unlimited copies for their own students, this year and next.
Will it print in color?
The pages are designed to print in black and white, so they print clean on any home or school printer and do not eat a cartridge.
