Printed on the sheet:

- Write your own e word:
- 7. Draw something that starts with short e
Teacher tip
Short e, as in egg. Kids often mix it with short i, so say both and compare.
How to use it
- Model each letter in the air, then on the board, saying the strokes out loud.
- Let kids trace with a finger before a pencil.
- Send it home with a note asking families to listen to their child read the words.
Watch for
b, d, p and q mix-ups. Teach “bat before ball” for b: the line comes first.
Talk about it
- What sound do you hear at the very start of this word?
- What sound does this letter or letter team make?
