Free CVC Sentence Worksheets for Early Readers

free CVC sentence worksheets

Learning to read starts with small, steady wins — and CVC words (consonant-vowel-consonant words like pig, sun, and bed) are where it begins for most children. These free CVC sentence worksheets give your child a gentle way to practise reading their first words at home, without screens and without pressure.

Each page works in a simple, repeatable way. Your child reads a short sentence, looks at the picture, and chooses the CVC word that completes it from three options. It’s just enough challenge to make them think, and just simple enough to keep early reading feeling like play rather than work.

There are ten worksheets in the set, each with five sentences, so there’s plenty to come back to as your child grows in confidence. They’re lovely for quiet table time, for a calm moment after nursery or school, or for those afternoons when you want something screen-free that still feels purposeful.

What’s inside:

  • Ten printable CVC sentence worksheets
  • Five picture-and-sentence activities on every page
  • A read, look, and choose format that builds phonics confidence
  • Warm, simple illustrations designed to hold little ones’ attention
  • Suitable for children roughly aged 3–6 who are starting to sound out words

Pop your email in below and we’ll send the free CVC worksheets straight to your inbox. You’ll also be first to hear when we add new free printables and learning resources for early years.

Once they’ve arrived, just print the pages you’d like and let your child work through them at their own pace. There’s no right speed — some children will fly through a page, others will enjoy returning to the same one a few times, and both are exactly how early reading is meant to feel.
