How to Use CVC Words Worksheets

Using CVC words worksheets is a simple and effective way to support early literacy development. Here are some easy steps to follow:

  1. Introduce the Concept
    Begin by explaining what CVC words are—three-letter words made up of a consonant, a vowel, and another consonant (like cat, pen, dog). Practice saying a few examples aloud with your child or students.

  2. Choose the Right Activity
    Select a worksheet that matches your child’s current skill level. Some worksheets focus on reading and matching, while others include writing, coloring, or cutting and pasting.

  3. Sound It Out
    Encourage children to sound out each letter in the word. For example, for cat, say the sounds /k/ /æ/ /t/ slowly, then blend them together.

  4. Complete the Worksheet

    • For writing worksheets: have children write the correct word under the picture.

    • For cut and paste: let them cut out the word cards and paste them under the matching images.

    • For coloring: they can color the picture and trace or color the word to reinforce recognition.

    • For matching/drag-and-drop: help them connect words to the correct pictures through fun interactive tasks.

  5. Review and Repeat
    After completing the worksheet, review the words again. Repeat similar activities with new CVC words to build confidence and fluency.
