About this worksheet

Ten scrambled CVC words with picture hints: cat, dog, pig, sun, bed, fox, cup, hen, bus and map. Kids look at the mixed-up letter tiles, sound out the right order and write the word. First graders can read it on their own and ask for help only with the trickier 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

Download the PDF and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). Page 1 is the worksheet and page 2 is the answer key with the answers in red; print just page 1 if you want to keep the answers for checking. The PNG shows page 1 only. Free for personal, family and classroom use.
