CVC Words List

We started the lessons in How to Teach Your Child To Read in 100 Easy Lessons. We are currently working through our CVC Words and using our nursery rhyme easy readers.

In this printable pack, you will find a list of the CVC short vowel words; short three letter words.

This CVC Words list contains 11 pages.

This black and white printable pack focuses on the short vowel sounds for a, e, i o and u.

There are two pages for each vowel sound. On the first page, you will find the short vowel sounds separated. These bookmarks can be printed out and laminated and used to help your child learn the CVC words.

The next page is a checklist of all of the CVC words. This is a great way to record the words that your child knows and the words they are still learning.
