Three letter words or CVC words are the foundation of becoming a good reader and writer. It is what introduces the children to the world of blending and segmenting sounds and understanding patterns in words. This ‘three-letter words for kids‘ pack is ideal for kindergarten to practice writing three-letter words.
We begin with beginning sounds for letters and then move on to blending those sounds.

In case you have just introduced your children to three-letter words, do try this word family pack first.
This pack contains five CVC words with pictures worksheets each for vowel a, e, i, o, and u.

Read the correct CVC e words and color the pictures. The kids will love this set. I recommend using these vowel worksheets for the purpose of revisiting the short vowel CVC words.

In the above CVC o words worksheet, cod is a type of fish so the correct picture to color is the last one(fish).
This CVC words with pictures pack can be complemented with an addictive CVC words card game.
Another way to practice CVC words is CVC ClipCards activity. The child has to identify the picture and then clip one of the three words.

Hi Payal,
Firstly, I’d like to thank you for your wonderful and comprehensive phonic worksheets. They have been my go to resource since March to teach my son. I have been facing a snag though since a month or two. The download link doesnnt appear in my email. I tried a couple of times even using an alternate email. It doesnt work. Will be grateful to have this fixed. Many many thanks and regards, Priya
