About this worksheet

A printable list of 60 CVC words sorted by short vowel: 12 words each for short a, e, i, o and u, with the vowel in color and a check box to tick after reading. Use it for daily fluency practice or as a word wall. It suits kindergarten, about ages 5 to 6, with large print and short, decodable words.

Tips for using it

Let your child say the picture name out loud before writing anything.
On the sound box page, push a counter into each box for each sound first, then write.
If a word is spelled wrong, read back exactly what is written and ask what sound is missing.

Printing tips
