CVC words are the first words little readers sound out, and these free printable CVC words worksheets give preschool and kindergarten children 25 playful pages to practise them. Each page works on one short vowel, a, e, i, o or u, so your child meets the same six words in five different activities and really learns them.
Every page is a black and white PDF with simple instructions and plenty of space to work, so one page is a complete short activity for preschool and kindergarten children, at home or in the classroom. Print the pages in any order, work through one vowel at a time, and finish with a reader who can sound out cat, bed, pig, dog and sun.

What Is Inside the CVC Words Worksheets Bundle
The 25 pages cover five activity types for each short vowel: read and match, where children circle the word that names the picture; rhyming, where they find the word that rhymes; cut and paste, where they build each word from letter tiles; color by word, where they colour each picture by its word; and missing vowels, where they fill in the vowel that completes each word. Short a brings cat, hat, bat, map, fan and bag; short e brings bed, hen, jet, pen, web and leg; short i brings pig, bin, zip, kid, lip and pin; short o brings dog, box, fox, mop, log and pot; and short u brings sun, bug, cup, gum, rug and nut.
CVC words worksheets like these build the sounding-out habit that early reading depends on, along with rhyming awareness, letter order and short-vowel spelling. Because the pages are black and white, children can colour them in after finishing, which turns every page into a second quiet activity.
