CVC I Words Worksheet for Kindergarten | Free Downloadable PDF
If you’re a homeschool parent or Kindergarten teacher looking for a fun, effective, and age-appropriate way to teach children how to read, look no further! Our CVC (Consonant-Vowel-Consonant) Words Worksheet is a free downloadable PDF specially designed for Kindergarten kids in the U.S. who are beginning their English reading journey.
What are CVC words and why are they important?
CVC words are three-letter words that follow a consonant-vowel-consonant pattern—like cat, dog, pen, bug, and hat. These words form the foundation of early reading and phonics skills. They are easy to sound out, helping young learners understand how individual letter sounds blend together to form words.
This free worksheet helps children practice:
Blending and segmenting letter sounds
Reading and recognizing simple CVC words
Spelling and writing CVC words independently
Phonemic awareness—the ability to hear and manipulate sounds in words
The activities are designed to be engaging, visually clear, and developmentally appropriate for Kindergarten-level learners. Each page features multiple CVC word families (such as -at, -an, -en, -ig, -op, etc.) and includes a variety of fun tasks like:
Trace and write the word
Match the CVC word with a picture
Fill in the missing letter
Unscramble and read the CVC word
Color the correct word
These activities not only reinforce phonics and spelling but also improve fine motor skills, letter formation, and early vocabulary. With simple instructions, large fonts, and kid-friendly images, the worksheet is perfect for independent work or guided instruction.
The worksheet is formatted for standard U.S. letter size (8.5” x 11”) and is print-ready. It can be used in:
Homeschool setups
Kindergarten classrooms
Literacy centers
Tutoring sessions
ESL/EFL programs
Homework or quiet-time activities
Why download this free CVC worksheet?
