Free CVC Worksheets for Kids – Phonics Printables for Early Readers
Learning to read starts with small steps—and one of the most important is mastering CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words. These simple three-letter words are the foundation of phonics, helping children learn how to blend sounds, recognize word families, and build confidence in reading.
That’s why we’ve created a growing collection of free CVC worksheets you can download and use in your classroom, homeschool, or at home.
What Are CVC Words?
CVC words are made up of:
- Consonant → the first letter sound (like c in cat)
- Vowel → the middle sound (like a in cat)
- Consonant → the ending sound (like t in cat)
Examples include: cat, dog, sun, net, bug, and hop.
By practicing with these words, children quickly learn how letters form sounds and how sounds form words.
Why Use CVC Worksheets?
Phonics Mastery – reinforces sound blending and word recognition.
Handwriting Practice – tracing builds fine motor skills.
