CVC Words Worksheets

Teach your child to SOUND OUT their very first words - the decodable, science-of-reading way. This is a CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) phonics workbook built around WORD FAMILIES, so once your child can read -at, they can suddenly read cat, hat, bat, mat and more, just by changing the first sound.

20 WORD FAMILIES ACROSS ALL FIVE SHORT VOWELS

Short a (at, an, ap, ag, ad), short e (ed, en, et), short i (ig, in, ip, it), short o (og, op, ot, ox) and short u (ug, un, ut, ub) - 120+ real CVC words in all.

THE SAME FOUR STEPS ON EVERY PAGE

• READ THE FAMILY - the words in tidy chips, with the shared ending colored so the pattern pops
• BLEND IT - say the first letter, then the ending, and write the whole word
• WRITE IT - guided handwriting lines for your favourites
• FIND THE REAL WORD - circle the word you can actually read (real vs nonsense = true decoding)
