About this resource
Students need to be able to manipulate phonemes to understand how words are created. In order to learn to read and spell, students need to hear the sounds AND then know the letter or letters that represent or produce a given sound. These phonemic skills allow students to be ready for print and to read print.
The 44 English phonemes are represented by the 26 letters of the alphabet individually and in combination.
These CVC phonics worksheets are ready to Print and Use. They reinforce spelling patterns of cvc words and encourage students to blend and segment onsets and rimes of single syllable words and add or substitute individual sounds (phonemes) in simple one-syllable words to make new words.
The 44 English phonemes are represented by the 26 letters of the alphabet individually and in combination.
These worksheets are designed to reinforce spelling patterns of CVC words and encourage students to blend and segment onsets and rimes of single syllable words and add or substitute individual sounds (phonemes) in simple
one-syllable words to make new words. The students substitute or change one letter or letters that represent phonemes to create new words.
These Worksheets include:
substitution of beginning, ending consonants and medial vowels as well as digraphs and bonus letters. The 14 worksheets plus answer keys use pictures and visual markers to support spelling and changes that need to be made to create new words. The children will substitute or change one letter or letters that represent phonemes to create new words. They progress from beginning to ending sounds. Then to medial vowel sounds and on to digraphs (beginning and ending) and bonus letters ll and ss.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Change one letter in a CVC word to spell a new word, using a picture as a spelling cue
Apply double-final-consonant (bonus ll/ss) and digraph spelling patterns on later worksheets
Teaching tips
Begin with straightforward CVC substitutions.
Name both pictures aloud and compare the sounds before writing.
Explain that later examples can change more than one written letter.
Skills covered
CVC letter substitution — students change one letter in a word (e.g., cat to hat) to match a target picture.
Digraph and bonus-letter spelling — later worksheets require doubling a final consonant (ll, ss) or applying a digraph rather than swapping a single letter.
Picture-to-word matching — each puzzle uses an illustration as the spelling target rather than a word bank.
