CVC Word Family Sort and Write Worksheets

Are you looking for a fun way for your kids to practice phonemic awareness and early reading skills?  If so, these CVC Word Family Sorting Worksheets are a must have in your teaching collection.  

What are CVC Word Families

Based on Wikipedia, the definition of Word Families are:

A word family is the base form of a word plus its inflected forms and derived forms made with suffixes and prefixes plus its cognates, i.e. all words that have a common etymological origin, some of which even native speakers don’t recognize as being related.

 

CVC refers to Consonant, Vowel, Consonant.  

In short, CVC word families, also known as phonograms, are groups of words that share the same rime, but have different onsets. 

If kids can recognize a word chunk (phonogram) within the unknown word, they are likely to build an understanding of word patterns and decode more words while reading.

Thankfully, according to the science of reading, learning word families will increase your kids ability to become a fluent reader.   

 

CVC Word Family Sorting and Writing Worksheets

Get your kids engaged with this set of hands-on printables to practice CVC words.  

Here you will find the no-prep, cut and paste, worksheets to practice writing and isolating onsets and rimes in CVC words.

Steps and Skills Completed on Each Worksheet:

Not only are you going to love the no-prep required, but the kids will love the opportunity to cut, paste, color, and write.  

Of course you can sit with your kids to help them complete the task, but the goal is for them to do the sorting and writing activity independently.  

To set your kids up for success, go over the pictures with them first.  Encourage them to say the word.  If they don’t know what it is, help them.  

Going over the pictures before they are left to break down the onsets and rimes will assure they are using the correct word.  

Here is a look at the steps your kids will take when they complete a word family sort.

1. Identify the CVC word family pictures. (8 on each page)
2. Color, cut, and sort.
3. Write the CVC words on the line.
