About this resource

This CVC Words Family early phonics activity includes printable worksheets designed for young learners in Pre-school, Foundation, and early primary years. The activity focuses on helping students recognise and read common CVC word families by identifying patterns in short vowel words. Students work with simple words and pictures to practise blending sounds and matching words within the same family.

The worksheets can be used during phonics lessons, literacy centres, or small-group instruction. They may be completed independently or with guidance, depending on student readiness. The activity supports early reading development, phonemic awareness, and familiarity with short vowel sounds. Teachers may also use the pages to reinforce word-building skills and decoding strategies.

All materials are provided as black-and-white printable PDF files. Preparation is limited to printing. The pages can be used in class or sent home for additional practice. This resource includes 10 printable worksheets.
