Students practice sounding out short vowel sounds by playing short vowel rhyming bingo with Nut the Mutt! When the entire vertical, horizontal, or diagonal line of words rhymes, students draw a bubble around it. Early finishers can draw a picture with as many words from one row of words as they can. Students practice sounding out short vowel sounds, identifying rhyming words from the same word families, and using their spatial awareness and critical thinking skills.
