Mastering consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) words is a critical milestone for young learners as they begin their reading and spelling journey. Words like cat, dog, sun, and hat are simple yet powerful tools to help kindergarteners understand letter-sound relationships, decode words, and build confidence.
At Mr. Greg, we’ve created fun and interactive CVC worksheets for kindergarten to make learning to read and spell engaging, effective, and enjoyable!

What Are CVC Words?
CVC words are three-letter words that follow a consonant-vowel-consonant pattern. Examples include:
- Short A: cat, bat, mat
- Short E: bed, red, ten
- Short I: pig, fin, lid
- Short O: top, dog, mop
- Short U: sun, bun, cup
These words are great for beginners because they are easy to sound out, helping children build phonemic awareness and reading fluency.
