Develop students’ ability to segment and blend the sounds in CVC words with this set of differentiated worksheets.

Learning to Spell CVC Words 

Some of the simplest words in our language are CVC words – those containing an initial consonant sound, a middle vowel sound and an ending consonant sound. Once students have mastered single letter-sound correspondences, it is time to practise decoding (reading) and encoding (spelling) these basic words.

This comprehensive set of differentiated CVC spelling worksheets has been designed to help your students practice these fundamental encoding skills. Each set includes a worksheet for the five short vowel sounds: short a, short e, short i, short o and short u. Students are required to:

  • Look at the picture and identify the word.
  • Segment the word into its initial, middle and end sound.
  • Write the corresponding letters for each sound into the boxes provided.

We’ve Done the Differentiation For You!

We understand that there is a huge range of diverse learning abilities in any early years classroom, and that catering to every child’s needs is never easy! That is why we have provided three differentiated versions of this worksheet, allowing you to cater to above-level, on-level and below-level learners. Each set of worksheets has subtle differences, as follows:

  • Set 1: Pictures and blank letter boxes only for each word.
  • Set 2: Pictures and blank letter boxes for each word, plus a bank of letters for students to choose from.
  • Set 3: Pictures and letter boxes for each word, plus a bank of letters for students to choose from, plus the initial letter already filled in.

Answers for all sets of worksheets are also provided.
