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, recognize, and read.
CVC words are frequently 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.
Short vowels can be particularly difficult for English Language Learners because short vowels aren’t really used in romance languages like Spanish and French. (My Spanish-speaking father-in-law says English is very confusing because of the different vowel sounds.)
Materials needed for CVC word tracing worksheets
It’s easy to print and use these short a CVC word tracing pages with your child or students. The PDFs can also be used on a tablet with a note-taking app or with the markup feature. Each page has 8 images with their corresponding words in a bubble font and a tracing font. The bubble font can be used for coloring or “rainbow writing,” a technique where the same word is trace multiple times in different colors.
Make sure to provide your child with a developmentally appropriate writing implement. We use these preschool pencils because they’re chunky and perfect for younger hands.
