Vowel Detectives: Identifying Vowels in Simple Words for Grade KG 

This Kindergarten worksheet helps young learners recognize and identify vowels in simple words through clear, guided, and engaging activities. By focusing on vowels (a, e, i, o, u), children build a strong phonics foundation that supports early reading, spelling, and word formation skills in an age-appropriate way. 

Why Learning Vowels Matters in Early Literacy? 

1. Vowels are the core sounds that help children read and pronounce words correctly. 
2. Identifying vowels improves phonemic awareness and listening skills. 
3. It helps children break words into sounds for better spelling readiness. 
4. It builds confidence in reading simple CVC and sight words. 

What’s Inside This Worksheet? 

🧠 Exercise 1 – Underline the Vowels 
Students look at simple words such as *dogs, kites, lion, clouds,* and *chair* and underline the vowel(s) in each word. This strengthens visual recognition of vowels within words. 

✏️ Exercise 2 – Multiple Choice: Find the Vowel 
Learners choose the correct vowel from a set of letters. This reinforces quick identification of vowels among consonants. 

📋 Exercise 3 – Rewrite Sentences Using Words with Middle Vowels 
Children complete sentences using picture clues and words that contain vowels as the middle letter (e.g., *hen, pan, sun, net, dog*). This builds vocabulary and sentence understanding. 

📝 Exercise 4 – Short Writing Task 
Students write a short line using all five vowels (a, e, i, o, u), encouraging recall and independent application.
