CVC Words Worksheets for Kindergarten. - The Teaching Aunt - Free Printable

Let's solve the "Spell and write" worksheet step by step. The task is to look at each picture, identify the word it represents, and then spell that word in the blank boxes provided.

Here are the pictures and their corresponding words:

---

1. First row:

- Bear – Picture of a bear
→ Spell: B-E-A-R
→ Fill in: B _ E _ A _ R (4 letters)

- Submarine – Picture of a submarine
→ Spell: S-U-B-M-A-R-I-N-E
→ But there are only 3 boxes — this seems incorrect. Wait, let’s double-check the image.

Wait — actually, looking closely, each box has three blank squares, so all words must be 3-letter words.

So we need to find 3-letter words for each picture.

Let’s re-analyze carefully with 3-letter constraints.

---

Re-evaluating with 3-letter words:

1. Bear → Could be "bear", but that’s 4 letters. Hmm.

Wait — perhaps it's not "bear", maybe it's "bat"? No, it’s clearly a bear.

But the boxes are only three squares. So likely, these are CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words, probably simple 3-letter words.

Let’s go one by one.

---

Row 1:

1. Bear → Maybe it's meant to be "b-a-r"? But that’s not a real word.
Wait — could it be "dog"? No, it’s clearly a bear.

Alternatively, maybe the intended word is "bee"? But no, it’s a bear.

Wait — perhaps the word is "bed"? No.

Wait — maybe it’s "b-a-r" as in "bar"? But that doesn’t fit.

Hmm. Let's consider common 3-letter words for animals or objects.

Wait — perhaps the image is not a bear? Let's reconsider.

Actually, upon closer inspection: it's a teddy bear, but still, the name is "bear". That's 4 letters.

But the boxes are only 3 boxes per word.

This suggests that the words are all 3-letter words.

So maybe the images are meant to represent 3-letter words.

Let’s look again:

1. Bear → Perhaps the word is "bea"? No, not a word.

Wait — maybe it's "sun"? No, that’s later.

Wait — perhaps the first one is "cat"? No, it’s a bear.

Hold on — maybe I’m missing something.

Wait — perhaps the images are meant to be CVC words like:

- Bear → "bee"? No.
- Submarine → "sub"! Yes!

Ah! That’s it.

Many of these are common 3-letter abbreviations or parts of words.

Let’s try again.

---

Correct Interpretation:

The worksheet is designed for early readers to practice 3-letter CVC words.

Let’s examine each image and find a 3-letter word that matches.

---

Row 1:

1. Bear → Looks like a bear. But “bear” is 4 letters.
However, sometimes children learn “bear” as a 4-letter word. But the boxes are 3.
Unless… is it “bat”? No.

Wait — perhaps the word is “boy”? No.

Wait — maybe it’s “bud”? No.

Wait — perhaps it's “bee”? No.

Wait — unless it’s “pig”? No.

Wait — perhaps it’s “dog”? No.

Wait — maybe it’s “mum”? No.

Wait — maybe the first one is “cub”?

Yes! A cub is a baby bear. And “cub” is a 3-letter word.

So:
1. Cub → C-U-B

2. Submarine → Commonly abbreviated as “sub” → S-U-B

3. Two girls hugging → This looks like “hug” → H-U-G

That makes sense!

---

Row 2:

4. Bathtub with water and duck → “Tub” → T-U-B

5. Green bug (like a ladybug or beetle) → “Bug” → B-U-G

6. Girl with arrow pointing to her hair → Hair → H-A-I-R? 4 letters.

Wait — only 3 boxes.

But “hair” is 4 letters.

Wait — perhaps it’s “hat”? No, she has a bun.

Wait — maybe it’s “top”? No.

Wait — the arrow points to her hair.

But “hair” is 4 letters.

Unless it’s “cap”? No.

Wait — maybe it’s “head”? 4 letters.

Wait — what if it’s “bow”? She has a bow in her hair? Possibly.

But it's just a bun.

Wait — perhaps it’s “pony”? Not really.

Wait — another idea: maybe it’s “eye”? No.

Wait — perhaps it’s “ear”? Arrow pointing to her hair, not ear.

Wait — maybe it’s “cut”? No.

Wait — perhaps it’s “tie”? No.

Wait — think differently.

Another possibility: “girl”? 4 letters.

Wait — perhaps it’s “her”? But that’s not a noun.

Wait — maybe the word is “fun”? No.

Wait — maybe it’s “mom”? No.

Wait — perhaps the word is “bob”? As in bob cut?

But that’s not clear.

Wait — maybe it’s “wig”? No.

Wait — perhaps it’s “bud”? No.

Wait — let’s look at the third image: girl with hair tied up. Arrow points to hair.

Perhaps the word is “hair”, but only 3 boxes.

No.

Wait — unless the intended word is “hat”? But no hat.

Wait — maybe it’s “cup”? No.

Wait — perhaps the word is “tied”? 4 letters.

Wait — maybe it’s “bun”? Yes!

She has a bun in her hair.

And “bun” is a 3-letter word.

Yes! That fits.

So:
6. Bun → B-U-N

---

Row 3:

7. Sun → S-U-N

8. School bus → B-U-S

9. Scissors cutting a line → S-C-I-S-S-O-R-S? Too long.

But only 3 boxes.

So likely: “cut” — because scissors are used to cut.

Yes! “Cut” is a 3-letter word.

So:
9. Cut → C-U-T

---

Now let’s compile all:

Final Answers:

1. Bear → Cub (baby bear) → C - U - B
2. Submarine → Sub → S - U - B
3. Hugging girls → Hug → H - U - G
4. Bathtub → Tub → T - U - B
5. Bug → Bug → B - U - G
6. Girl with bun → Bun → B - U - N
7. Sun → Sun → S - U - N
8. School bus → Bus → B - U - S
9. Scissors → Cut → C - U - T

All are 3-letter words, and match the images logically.

Completed Worksheet:

| Image | Word | Spelling |
|-------|------|----------|
| Bear (cub) | Cub | C - U - B |
| Submarine | Sub | S - U - B |
| Two girls hugging | Hug | H - U - G |
| Bathtub | Tub | T - U - B |

✔ All words are 3 letters and make sense with the pictures.

Explanation:

This worksheet helps children practice spelling short, common 3-letter words based on visual cues. It reinforces phonics, vocabulary, and fine motor skills by writing the letters in boxes.

The key is recognizing common CVC words (consonant-vowel-consonant), such as:
- cub, sub, hug, tub, bug, bun, sun, bus, cut

Each image is a clue to a word that starts with a consonant, has a vowel, and ends with a consonant.

4. Tub
5. Bug
6. Bun
7. Sun
