Unscramble CVC Picture Words, Set 1

Have your child say each picture name slowly and tap one finger for each sound before writing. Start with the picture and matching pages, then move to word families and word ladders. Check each page with the answer key.

Unscramble the letters for six pictures like cat, dog, sun and bed and write each word. A CVC word is spelled with a consonant, a short vowel and one more consonant, like jet. The directions on the page read: Look at each picture and say its name. Read the mixed-up letters under it. Then, write the letters in the right order on the line to spell the name.

A CVC word has three letters in the order consonant, vowel, consonant, and the vowel makes its short sound, as in cat, bed, pig, dog and sun. These are the first words most children decode on their own (RF.1.3.B).

A word family is a group of words that end the same way and rhyme, like cat, hat, mat and sat. The word family sorts have children look at the last two letters of 12 words and write each in the at, an or ap, ig, in or it, or op, ot or ug house.

A word ladder changes one letter at a time, so children must listen for which sound changed. On CVC Word Ladder From Cat to Map, cat becomes hat, hot, hop, mop and then map.

Yes. All 29 CVC words sheets have an answer key.
