When my elder son was 3 years old, he was introduced to Jolly Phonics. It was a completely new thing for me as I belong to the generation that learned to read by memorizing that A is for apple and B is for B. We were never taught the sounds of the alphabet. We learned their names. I guess our brains just added the missing link of sounds on their own. A huge thanks to the people behind the Jolly Phonics and other synthetic phonics systems. Instead of second-guessing the sounds of the alphabet on their own, children now learn the sounds first and then, the names of the alphabet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-31f70ad2df5b36ae89ccf6a691f56bb6\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">I got inspiration from my son&#8217;s education to develop my first mobile app.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\">Check out\u00a0<\/span><a style=\"text-align: justify;\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.amna.phonicsfun\"><b>my free Jolly Phonics Mobile App<\/b><\/a><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\">.

Children learn the sounds of the letters and can recognize that the letter &#8216;a&#8217; makes the sound \/a\/ &#8211; the beginning sound that our mouth makes when we say the word&nbsp;<\/span><strong style=\"background-attachment: initial; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;\">apple<\/strong><span style=\"background-attachment: initial; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;\">.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-a5d172fe781b63a5f8c59149855e554b\"><span style=\"background-attachment: initial; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;\">The Jolly Phonics system of synthetic phonics divides the English alphabet into groups in order of difficulty. For example, group 1 has the letters s, a, t, i, p, and n. These letters are not just easy to learn but they also make the most 3-lettered words so that children can start to blend sounds and read 3-lettered words as soon as they know the group 1 sounds.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-e24175f1f05e4f38622645554dd42e8a\"><span style=\"background-attachment: initial; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;\">However, any kind of learning requires patience. I recommend that children spend at least a week on one letter before moving on to another letter.

They have learned the short sounds of these vowels. Short sounds of the vowels are the sounds that are different from the sounds that our mouth makes when we say the names of the vowels. For example, \/u\/ is the sound made by the vowel &#8220;u&#8221; when we say the word &#8220;umbrella&#8221;.\u26f1<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-89089d84e80362d8474923e5eeda5bd1\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;\">The long sounds of vowels are the sounds that are the same as the name of the vowels. For example, the long sound of a is the beginning sound that our mouth makes when we say the word &#8220;ate&#8221;, which is exactly the same as the name of the alphabet &#8220;A&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-966f7bd7ff8988eead5429e5c50b6702\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;\">So, I decided to make these short vowel sounds worksheets so that children can practice their blending. I recommend using these worksheets once the child has done the first 3 groups of Jolly Phonics.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/obsidiansofteducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/14_1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/obsidiansofteducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/7_4.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-f938ef0211fccd2affe1303150eeb58c\">Using these worksheets is very simple:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>1.
