CVC Word Families Phonics Worksheets for Kindergarten and 1st Grade

What your child practices

CVC Word Families gets a page by page workout here: 50 worksheets for kindergarten and 1st grade and 449 questions of phonics practice. Work through the pages in order, since each one builds on the one before. Strong letter skills in the early grades free up a child's attention for reading and writing ideas, so steady, short practice pays off for years. The set runs from The "at" Family: Build Words to The "um" Family: Read and Find, one skill per sheet. It is aligned to Common Core RF.K.3, which focuses on phonics and decoding words. It also touches RF.K.2d, hearing and working with the sounds in spoken words. Answer keys sit on page 2 of each PDF, so checking takes seconds. After printing, the online version gives instant feedback and reads each question aloud.

Tips for parents

• Use a thick pencil or crayon for little hands, and trace with a finger first.
• Check pencil grip and posture before starting. Comfortable writers last longer.
• Keep sessions short, about ten minutes, and stop while it is still fun.
