About this worksheet

What kids practice
CVC stories are short stories made almost entirely of consonant-vowel-consonant words, like hen, sat and mud, plus a few first sight words, like the, a and to. Every word is one a kindergartner can sound out with the phonics they already know, so they read the whole story on their own. Each story has its own watercolor picture that shows exactly what the words say, and each short vowel, a, e, i, o and u, has its own page of three stories.
Watch for
- Guessing from the picture instead of reading. Read the words first, then check the picture.
- Skipping little words like a and the. Point to every word.
- Stopping after one read. Coloring a star for each read makes rereading fun.
It's free to print, with Fewer, Standard or More on the page and an answer key. See the full CVC stories phonics guide for kindergarten.
