Free 3A Track Sheet | Year 1 | English | BookFlik
Welcome to your latest home learning resource from BookFlik. We are delighted to support your child’s reading journey with English Track Level 3A Sheet 8 — Read short ‘e’ CVC: ten, hen, pen, men, den. This activity focuses on building phonemic awareness by helping children blend sounds to read simple consonant-vowel-consonant words featuring the short ‘e’ vowel sound.
As part of our structured phonics programme, English Track Level 3A Sheet 8 — Read short ‘e’ CVC: ten, hen, pen, men, den acts as a vital stepping stone. Having already mastered short ‘a’ and ‘i’ sounds, your child is now ready to explore the ‘e’ sound, which is essential for decoding a wide range of vocabulary. By practising these specific words, children strengthen their ability to segment and blend sounds fluently, which is a key requirement for the Year 1 curriculum.
Once your child completes this sheet, they will be able to read these five words confidently and identify the short ‘e’ sound within other simple words. This success builds the vital reading stamina needed for longer sentences. We hope your child enjoys working through these puzzles with our friend Pip the caterpillar, who is always ready to celebrate every new word mastered!
