CVC I Words Worksheet for Kindergarten | Free Downloadable PDF for Simple English Learning

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?

Children who master CVC words build the confidence to tackle more complex phonics patterns later. Our worksheet supports a structured, phonics-based approach to reading and is aligned with U.S. Common Core Standards for Kindergarten ELA.
