The image shows two versions of a
CVC (Consonant-Vowel-Consonant) Words worksheet focused on
Middle Vowel Sounds. The goal is to help children practice identifying the middle vowel sound in CVC words by matching pictures to their corresponding sounds.

🔍 Understanding the Task
Each row contains:
- A picture
- A word written as individual letters (e.g., _c_ _a_ _t_)
- A blank space for the child to identify and write the
middle vowel sound
The instruction says:
> *"Identify the vowel or digraph in each picture and say its name out loud."*
This means the child should:
1. Look at the picture.
2. Say the word aloud.
3. Identify the
middle vowel sound (the vowel in the middle of the CVC word).
4. Write the vowel letter(s) in the blank box.

🧩 Example Walkthrough
Let’s go through a few examples from the
color version (left):
| Picture | Word | Middle Vowel Sound |
|--------|------|---------------------|
| Cat | c _a_ t |
a |
| Bus | b _u_ s |
u |
| Dog | d _o_ g |
o |
| Hat | h _a_ t |
a |
| Sun | s _u_ n |
u |
| Bed | b _e_ d |
e |
| Bat | b _a_ t |
a |
| Pig | p _i_ g |
i |
✔ So, for each picture, the child identifies the
middle vowel sound and fills it in.

✔ How to Solve It Step-by-Step:
1.
Look at the picture → What is it?
- E.g., a cat → "cat"
2.
Say the word aloud → “Cat” → /kæt/
3.
Break it into sounds: C – A – T
4.
Identify the middle vowel → “A”
5.
Write the vowel letter in the blank space.
Repeat this for all 10 pictures.
