CVC Worksheets
Why is it so Important to Practice CVC Words?
Once young learners have learned the shapes and sounds of individual letters in the alphabet, it’s time for them to start combining the letter sounds to make simple words. As they combine letters (consonant-vowel-consonant) to form words, they also begin to associate the written words with words they are familiar with hearing and speaking. CVC word practice is very important for early readers, and it requires a lot of repetition. Fortunately, practicing CVC words can be fun!
CVC Words Worksheets Make Practice Fun
CVC Words Worksheets provide engaging and interactive CVC word practice for your students. There are 2 worksheets for each vowel (a,e,i,o,u) as well as letter tiles for spelling out the words. To complete each worksheet, students first circle a focus word. Next they draw it, use the tiles to spell it, and then finally write the word.
These worksheets are perfect for kindergarteners and first graders. There are so many CVC words included that this will be a resource you can use all year. The following CVC words are included for each vowel:

3 Tips for Using CVC Words Worksheets in Your Classroom
- Once you have instructed students on how to use the CVC Words Worksheets and given them the opportunity to practice, they will be able to do additional practice without your direct instruction. You can add CVC Word Worksheets to your centers, guided reading, literacy tubs, small groups, or early finishers bin.
- Try laminating, or placing the CVC worksheets in sheet protectors, so they can be used over and over. Then, let students use dry erase markers to complete the activities and erase when they are finished.
- If you decide not to laminate the worksheets, you can allow students to express their creativity and personalize their worksheets by coloring in the tiles afterward.
