Missing Vowels in CVC Words (1) - More CVC Words and Activities by ... - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step to find the missing vowel in each CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) word. We’ll look at the picture, say the word out loud, and then pick the correct vowel from a, e, i, o, u.

First row:

1. h _ t → Picture is a hat. Say it: “hat”. Missing vowel = a
2. d _ g → Picture is a dog. Say it: “dog”. Missing vowel = o
3. t _ n → Picture is a tin can. Say it: “tin”. Missing vowel = i

Second row:

4. n _ t → Picture is a net. Say it: “net”. Missing vowel = e
5. h _ t → Picture is a hut on stilts over water. Say it: “hut”. Missing vowel = u
6. p _ g → Picture is a pig. Say it: “pig”. Missing vowel = i

Wait — let’s double-check #6. The picture is a pink pig. Yes, “pig” has an i. But hold on — we already used “i” for “tin” and now again for “pig”? That’s okay — vowels can repeat across different words.

But wait — let’s check if “pag” or “peg” or “pug” makes sense? No — only “pig” matches the picture. So yes, i is correct.

Actually — let me recheck all:

- hat → a ✔
- dog → o ✔
- tin → i ✔
- net → e ✔
- hut → u ✔
- pig → i ✔ ← this is fine

Third row:

7. d _ t → Picture is a dot (black circle). Say it: “dot”. Missing vowel = o
8. m _ p → Picture is a map of the world. Say it: “map”. Missing vowel = a
9. s _ n → Picture is the sun. Say it: “sun”. Missing vowel = u

Wait — “sun” ends with ‘n’, so s_u_n → yes, u

But let’s verify:

- dot → d_o_t → o ✔
- map → m_a_p → a ✔
- sun → s_u_n → u ✔

All good.

Now let’s list them in order as they appear on the worksheet:

Row 1:
h _ t → a
d _ g → o
t _ n → i

Row 2:
n _ t → e
h _ t → u
p _ g → i

Row 3:
d _ t → o
m _ p → a
s _ n → u

So the answers are:

a, o, i, e, u, i, o, a, u

Let me write them clearly per box:

Top row left to right:
→ hat → a
→ dog → o
→ tin → i

Middle row:
→ net → e
→ hut → u
→ pig → i

Bottom row:
→ dot → o
→ map → a
→ sun → u

Yes — that’s consistent.

Final Answer:
a, o, i, e, u, i, o, a, u
