CVC Words Mixed Short Vowels Worksheets Kindergarten and First - Free Printable

Let’s go through each word one by one. We need to fill in the missing short vowel sound — that means we’re looking for either a, e, i, o, or u — to make a real word that matches the picture.

---

First row:

- Picture: baseball bat → word is “bat” → so it’s b_a_t
- Picture: cup → word is “cup” → so it’s c_u_p
- Picture: sun → word is “sun” → so it’s s_u_n

Wait — hold on! The instruction says “short vowel sounds.” Let’s double-check:

Actually, looking again at the first image — it’s a *bat* (baseball bat), which uses short a.
Cup uses short u.
Sun uses short u.

But let’s check all words carefully — maybe some are tricky.

Second row:

- Submarine → “sub” → short u → s_u_b
- Ham (like meat) → “ham” → short a → h_a_m
- Pen → “pen” → short e → p_e_n

Third row:

- Dog → “dog” → short o → d_o_g
- Wig → “wig” → short i → w_i_g
- Top (spinning top) → “top” → short o → t_o_p

Fourth row:

- Net → “net” → short e → n_e_t
- Fox → “fox” → short o → f_o_x
- Pig → “pig” → short i → p_i_g

Wait — let me verify each word with its picture and correct short vowel:

1. Bat → b _ t → a → bat ✔
2. Cup → c _ p → u → cup ✔
3. Sun → s _ n → u → sun ✔
4. Sub → s _ b → u → sub ✔
5. Ham → h _ m → a → ham ✔
6. Pen → p _ n → e → pen ✔
7. Dog → d _ g → o → dog ✔
8. Wig → w _ g → i → wig ✔
9. Top → t _ p → o → top ✔
10. Net → n _ t → e → net ✔
11. Fox → f _ x → o → fox ✔
12. Pig → p _ g → i → pig ✔

All these use short vowels correctly.

Now, just to be 100% sure — no long vowels here. All are short:

- a as in cat
- e as in bed
- i as in sit
- o as in hot
- u as in cup

Yes — all match.
