CVC Words Worksheets for Kindergarten. - The Teaching Aunt - Free Printable

Of course! Let’s solve this “Spell and Write CVC Words” worksheet together.

What is a CVC Word?
CVC stands for Consonant-Vowel-Consonant. These are simple, 3-letter words where the first and last letters are consonants, and the middle letter is a vowel (a, e, i, o, u). Examples: cat, dog, pig, sun.

Now, let’s look at each picture and figure out the CVC word it represents:

---

Top Row:

1. Zipper → The sound is /z/ - /i/ - /p/ → ZIP
- Z (consonant) - I (vowel) - P (consonant)

2. Six → The sound is /s/ - /i/ - /x/ → SIX
- S (consonant) - I (vowel) - X (consonant)

3. Pot → The sound is /p/ - /o/ - /t/ → POT
- P (consonant) - O (vowel) - T (consonant)

---

Middle Row:

4. Pig → The sound is /p/ - /i/ - /g/ → PIG
- P (consonant) - I (vowel) - G (consonant)

5. Wig → The sound is /w/ - /i/ - /g/ → WIG
- W (consonant) - I (vowel) - G (consonant)

6. Lip → The sound is /l/ - /i/ - /p/ → LIP
- L (consonant) - I (vowel) - P (consonant)

---

Bottom Row:

7. Fish → Wait — “fish” has 4 letters! But in early phonics, sometimes “sh” is treated as one sound. However, FISH is NOT a true CVC word because it has 4 letters. But looking closely at the image — it’s actually a FISH, but maybe the intended word is FIN? Let’s check.

Actually, if you look carefully, the image is of a FISH, but many worksheets use “fish” even though it’s not strictly CVC. However, there’s a better fit: FIN!

The fish has a visible fin — and “fin” is a perfect CVC word: /f/ - /i/ - /n/ → FIN
- F (consonant) - I (vowel) - N (consonant)

✔ So we’ll go with FIN.

8. Jet → The sound is /j/ - /e/ - /t/ → JET
- J (consonant) - E (vowel) - T (consonant)

9. Net → The sound is /n/ - /e/ - /t/ → NET
- N (consonant) - E (vowel) - T (consonant)

✔ Final Answers to Write on the Worksheet:

| Picture | CVC Word |
|--------------|----------|
| Zipper | ZIP |
| Six | SIX |
| Pot | POT |
| Pig | PIG |
| Wig | WIG |
| Lip | LIP |
| Fish (Fin) | FIN |
| Jet | JET |
| Net | NET |

📌 Tip for Students:
- Say the name of the picture slowly.
- Break it into 3 sounds: first sound, middle sound, last sound.
- Write the letter that makes each sound.
- Check: Does it start and end with a consonant? Is the middle a vowel? If yes — it’s a CVC word!

You’ve got this! Happy spelling! 🎉

*(Note: Some teachers may accept “FISH” as an exception, but since the boxes only have 3 spaces, “FIN” fits perfectly and is also correct for the fin on the fish.)*
