CVC Word Worksheets for Kindergarten

CVC means consonant-vowel-consonant: simple three-letter words such as cat, bed, pig, hop, and sun that follow one consonant, one short vowel, and one final consonant. These words are the first decoding step for kindergarten and early phonics learners — blend the three sounds from left to right, then read the word.

Practice 48 CVC words with 288 free printable worksheets. Every word includes six activities for blending, missing letters, reading, sorting, building, and word hunts.
