CVC Words interactive worksheet - Free Printable

This worksheet is designed to help children practice identifying and writing the beginning sounds of short A CVC (Consonant-Vowel-Consonant) words. The goal is to look at each picture, determine the word it represents, and write the correct initial consonant that completes the CVC word with a short "a" sound.

Let’s go through each image and analyze what the correct beginning sound should be:

---

🔹 Row 1:

1. Fan → Picture: Fan
- Word: fan → Begins with f
- But the space already has an, so we need to fill in the first letter: f → ✔ fan

2. Cat → Picture: Cat
- Word: cat → Begins with c
- Already has at, so add c → ✔ cat

3. Pan → Picture: Pan
- Word: pan → Begins with p
- Already has an, so add p → ✔ pan

🔹 Row 2:

4. Dog → Picture: Dog
- Word: dog → Begins with d
- Already has og, so add d → ✔ dog

5. Hat → Picture: Hat
- Word: hat → Begins with h
- Already has at, so add h → ✔ hat

6. Bat → Picture: Baseball bat
- Word: bat → Begins with b
- Already has at, so add b → ✔ bat

🔹 Row 3:

7. Sax (saxophone) → Picture: Saxophone
- Word: sax → Begins with s
- Already has ax, so add s → ✔ sax

8. Map → Picture: Map
- Word: map → Begins with m
- Already has ap, so add m → ✔ map

9. Ham → Picture: Ham (meat)
- Word: ham → Begins with h
- Already has am, so add h → ✔ ham

---

🔹 Row 4:

10. Tag → Picture: Tag (like a price tag)
- Word: tag → Begins with t
- Already has ag, so add t → ✔ tag

11. Bag → Picture: Bag (with a handle)
- Word: bag → Begins with b
- Already has ag, so add b → ✔ bag

12. Ram → Picture: Ram (animal)
- Word: ram → Begins with r
