Reading CVC words is an important strategy when introducing many phonological awareness skills emerging readers need to learn. CVC words follow the simple pattern of consonant-vowel-consonant and make it easier for students to transform individual letter sounds into short and simple familiar words. The short vowel sounds are the foundation of fluent reading. When students begin learning letter names and sounds the first vowel sounds we teach them are the short vowel sounds. You can use these worksheets in the classroom or send them home for extra practice.


RF.K.2d Isolate and pronounce the initial, medial vowel, and final sounds (phonemes) in three-phoneme words (CVC words).

RF.K.3b Associate the long and short sounds with common spellings (graphemes) for the five major vowels.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Read and write short-i CVC words such as pig, wig, six, mix, and kit.

  • Read simple short-i sentences aloud and identify the target word within each sentence.

  • Match a printed picture to its corresponding short-i CVC word by cutting and gluing.

Teaching tips

  • Have scissors, glue, and coloring supplies ready before starting — the matching pages require cutting and the writing/fluency pages require coloring.

  • Use the two Writing pages for initial practice, then move to the Fluency pages once students can read individual words, since the fluency pages embed the same word types inside full sentences.

  • Preview the six pictures and words on a Matching page before students cut them apart, so pieces don't get mixed up between pages.

Skills covered

  • Short-i CVC decoding — students read words such as pig, wig, six, mix, and bin across all three formats.

  • Word writing — the Writing pages have students copy each word by hand before finding and coloring it.

  • Sentence reading — the Fluency pages embed short-i words in simple sentences ("I see a fig") for oral reading practice.

  • Picture-word matching — the Matching pages have students pair a picture with its short-i CVC word label.
