About this worksheet

Twelve three-letter CVC words to trace next to their pictures: cat, fan, map and van (short a), bed, hen, net and web (short e), pig, six, wig and fin (short i). The vowel in each word is dashed in color so kids hear and see it. It suits ages 4 to 6, and little ones can count the pictures with a finger.

Tips for using it

Check the grip first: pencil held between thumb and pointer finger, resting on the middle finger.
Leave a finger space between words; let your child lay a finger on the line after each word.
Short, daily practice beats long sessions; stop while it is still fun.

Printing tips

Download the PDF for the sharpest result and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). The PNG is 300 DPI, which is handy for tablets and coloring apps. This page is free for personal, family and classroom use.
