CVC picture words worksheets

Each print is a different sheet with its own answer key. You don't need to sign up.

Say the picture's name slowly, one sound at a time. Write the letters for those sounds, in order.

Two grades, one set of pictures: both print from the same 73. Print one here, or open a grade for examples and teaching notes.

Print by grade

  1. Kindergarten Core grade

    Examples and teaching notes

    Each print is a different sheet with its own answer key. You don't need to sign up.

    CVC picture words are the first words most children spell on their own: consonant, vowel, consonant, usually three sounds in a row. Each picture on this sheet is a short-vowel word, and the child says it slowly, hears each sound, and writes the whole word on the line beneath.

  2. 1st grade

    Examples and teaching notes

    First graders spell CVC words from a picture without a word bank: say the word, segment its sounds, write the three letters in order. This sheet mixes the five short vowels, changes the pictures on every print, and puts the answer on the key so a parent can check without guessing the picture's name.
