Short "o" CVC Words Worksheet - Students identify and write words based on pictures.

Let's solve this worksheet step by step.

Worksheet Title:

Short "o" CVC Words
*Look at the picture and write the word.*

This worksheet focuses on CVC words (Consonant-Vowel-Consonant) with the short "o" sound. We’ll identify each picture and write the correct CVC word.

---

Left Column:

1. Picture: A mother and child hugging
- Word given: Mom ✔
- This is a CVC word with short "o".

2. Picture: A cooking pot
- Word given: pot ✔
- Already filled in, correct.

3. Picture: An ear of corn
- Word: corn
- But wait: "corn" has two syllables and contains "or", not a simple CVC word with short "o".
- However, we’re looking for CVC words with short "o".
- The correct CVC word for corn? Let’s reconsider — maybe it’s "cob"? But that’s not the image.
- Actually, "corn" is not a CVC word. But the image is clearly corn.
- Wait — perhaps the intended word is "corn", but it doesn't fit the CVC pattern.
- Let’s double-check:
- CVC = Consonant + Vowel + Consonant
- "Corn" → C-O-R-N → 4 letters, but "or" is a digraph, so not CVC.
- So what CVC word with short "o" could match corn?
- There isn’t one. But maybe the intended word is "cob"? That would be more accurate.
- But the image shows corn, not cob.
- Hmm — let's move on and see if there’s a better fit.

Wait — actually, "corn" is not a CVC word. But the worksheet is asking for short "o" CVC words, so likely the word should be "cob" or "dog"?

Wait — look again:

4. Picture: A dog
- Word: dog
- D-O-G → CVC, short "o" ✔

5. Picture: A police officer
- Word: cop
- C-O-P → CVC, short "o" ✔

So now, back to the corn:
- Corn → Not a CVC word
- But maybe the intended word is "cob"? But the image is corn.
- Alternatively, perhaps it's "corn", but that's not CVC.

But wait — maybe the image is meant to represent "corn", but the task is still to write the word.

However, since the instruction says “CVC words”, and "corn" is not CVC, maybe it's a mistake.

But let's check the right side.

Right Column:

1. Picture: A fox
- Word: fox
- F-O-X → CVC, short "o" ✔

2. Picture: A log
- Word: log
- L-O-G → CVC, short "o" ✔

3. Picture: A box
- Word: box
- B-O-X → CVC, short "o" ✔

4. Picture: A spinning top
- Word: top
- T-O-P → CVC, short "o" ✔

5. Picture: A mop
- Word: mop
- M-O-P → CVC, short "o" ✔

---

Now go back to left column:

- Corn: This is tricky. Is there a CVC word with short "o" for corn?
- "Corn" is not CVC.
- But maybe the intended answer is "cob"? But the image is corn.

Wait — perhaps it's "corn", and they're allowing it even though it's not CVC? But the title says CVC words.

Alternatively, maybe it's "cog"? No, that doesn’t make sense.

Wait — let’s re-express the images:

Left column:

1. Mom → Mom ✔
2. Pot → Pot ✔
3. Corn → ???
4. Dog → Dog ✔
5. Cop → Cop ✔

Right column:

1. Fox → Fox ✔
2. Log → Log ✔
3. Box → Box ✔
4. Top → Top ✔
5. Mop → Mop ✔

So the only one missing is corn.

But "corn" is not a CVC word.

Wait — is it possible that the intended word is "cob"? But the image is corn.

Alternatively, maybe it's "no"? No.

Wait — perhaps the image is a cob of corn, and the word is "cob"?

But it shows an entire ear of corn, not just the cob.

Hmm.

Alternatively, maybe it's a typo, and the word is supposed to be "cup"? But no, it's corn.

Wait — perhaps the word is "corn", and we are to write it anyway, even if not CVC?

But the title says CVC words.

Let’s think: What other CVC word with short "o" could it be?

- "dot"? No
- "not"? No
- "hot"? No

None match corn.

Wait — maybe it's "dog"? But that’s a separate image.

No.

Wait — perhaps the image is a corn cob, and the word is "cob"?

Yes! Even though it looks like corn, it's a cob — the edible part.

So "cob" is a valid CVC word with short "o".

So likely, the intended answer is "cob".

Similarly, the others are:

- Mom → Mom
- Pot → Pot
- Cob → Cob
- Dog → Dog
- Cop → Cop

Right side:

- Fox → Fox
- Log → Log
- Box → Box
- Top → Top
- Mop → Mop

All are CVC words with short "o".

✔ Explanation:

This worksheet teaches children to recognize and write CVC words with the short "o" sound. Each image corresponds to a common CVC word where the middle letter is "o" and is pronounced as a short "o" (like in "hot", "dog", etc.).

Even though "corn" might seem like the word, "cob" is the correct CVC word that matches the image and the pattern.

✔ All answers follow the CVC structure and contain the short "o" vowel sound.
