CVC Maker 200 Phonics Worksheets, Short Vowel CVC Word Families, Pre-K–1st ESL Printable, Black & White Ink-Friendly

CVC Maker is a 200-sheet phonics workbook of consonant–vowel–consonant (CVC) word practice for Pre-K, Kindergarten, 1st Grade, and young ESL learners. Pages are organized by short-vowel word families (for example -at, -an, -ig, -op, and -ug), with real photographs chosen so each word is clear at a glance.

Every page is black and white and ink-friendly — ready for a classroom or home printer.

200 student worksheets

• 20 short-vowel word families × 10 activity templates = 200 sheets
• Short a (5 families), short e (2), short i (5), short o (4), short u (4)
• The same 10 activities appear in the same order for every family, so children learn the routine once and then apply it to new words
• Use one 10-page family as a “CVC of the week” pack, or work through the book in order

The 10 activities

• Trace the Word — trace a solid model, then write it on handwriting lines
• Build the Word — cut and glue letter tiles next to each photo
• Picture-Word Match — draw a line from each photo to the word
• Read and Color — read the word and color the stars and the frame
• Missing Middle Vowel — write the missing short vowel (a vowel bank is on the page)
• Word Family Sort — cut out the photos and glue them under the matching family
• Roll and Read — roll a die and read the matching word
• Sentence Reading — short, decodable CVC sentences with “I can read this” checkboxes
• Dab the Word — dab or color the circle with the right word
• Write the Word — Look · Say · Write on handwriting lines

The cover, how-to, contents, and answer key are extra pages and are not counted in the 200 student sheets.

Made for young learners and ESL

• Real photographs, not clip art
• US spelling throughout (color, gray, practice, center)
• Short helper words in the sentences: the, a, an, is, on, in, has, and, I, can

Printing

Download and unzip the folder. Open the US Letter PDF or the A4 PDF, depending on your paper. Print at 100% (actual size), not “fit to page.” For Build the Word and Word Family Sort, single-sided printing is easiest, because those pages have cut-and-glue strips.
