Middle Sounds - Worksheet

The "Middle Sounds" worksheets are designed to help children improve their phonics skills by focusing on the middle sounds in words. These educational resources encourage students to identify and practise recognising the vowel sound that is found between the initial and final consonants of a word. For instance, in the word 'pig', the middle sound is the vowel 'i'. The exercises involve a series of words, such as 'cap', 'bag', 'mat', where the children need to say the words aloud and determine the sound the middle letter makes, which, in this example, is 'a'.

Further activities include a set of words like 'pen', 'net', 'ten', where students are again prompted to vocalise the words and recognise the common middle sound, which is 'e' in this case. Additional sets of words with the middle sounds 'i', 'o', and 'u' are also provided, such as 'tin', 'pig', 'bin' for 'i', and 'mop', 'log', 'dog' for 'o'. The worksheet encourages interactive learning by asking students to complete words by choosing the correct middle letter from options provided, such as 'm__g' where the options are 'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'. This resource concludes with a congratulatory note for the students' efforts and instructs them to complete the worksheet, which includes exercises for filling in the missing middle letter in various words.
