Teaching Short E
What it is
Short e is the /e/ sound heard in bed, ten, and nest. It is the short vowel children most often confuse with short i.
When a child is ready
Teach it after short a is secure and before mixing several vowels in one lesson.
If they struggle
If bed comes out as bid, compare the two sounds side by side with a mirror: the mouth opens wider for /e/. Sort word cards into an e pile and an i pile before reading them.
