WHAT ARE CVC WORDS?
CVC words are short, three letter words spelled in a consonant, vowel, consonant pattern. They are usually among the first words that a child learns to sound out and recognize as sight words.
CVC words are commonly used to teach reading, like in the popular BOB Books series. BOB Books are empowering for young learners because they can read the entire book with just a few letters. The stories seem simple to adults, but kids are so proud when they read the whole book! My daughter loves her Series 1 Bob Books.
These I Spy pages feature short vowel CVC words. Short vowel sounds are more common in English than long vowels. That’s why many parents and educators teach them first. Even if you don’t know the term, you’re probably already familiar with short vowel sounds. They’re the sound in common words like cat, hat, sat, and pat.
Long vowel sounds are the vowels that “say their name.” The “a” in both say and name are long vowel sounds. “Cape” is another example of a word with a long a sound. We are not using long a words in today’s worksheets – only short a CVC words.
MATERIALS NEEDED FOR CVC I SPY WORKSHEETS
It’s easy to print and use these short a CVC I Spy pages with your child or students. Each page has 10 words with their matching images. There are also a handful of “distractor” images in the image bank area.

Just Phonics Box Set – A Fun Start to Phonics for Ages 3–5
Teaching phonics at home doesn’t have to feel overwhelming—especially with the Just Phonics Box Set of 4 Books, Brain Boosting Activity Book, and Early Learning Combo Set. Specially designed for children aged 3–5, this set takes your child step by step from learning the 26 letter sounds to the full range of 42 phonics sounds. Using a multi-sensory, spiral approach, the books help little learners not only hear but also see and practice the shape and formation of each sound, making recognition natural and easy. One of the biggest advantages for parents is that blending of simple CVC words is introduced early, so your child can quickly begin to read real words with confidence.

I personally recommend this set for parents who want to give their children a strong start in reading.
