CVC Words Worksheet Generator

Build a phonics worksheet from a hand-picked bank of short-vowel CVC words — cat, hen, pig, dog, bug. Pick Missing vowel (c    t with a clue), Unscramble (mixed-up letters kids reorder), or Sort by short vowel (a shuffled word bank plus five short a/e/i/o/u columns). Focus on one vowel family for early decoders or mix all five for review. Print with or without an answer key.

Every word is a real three-letter consonant-vowel-consonant with a short vowel sound — cat, hen, pig, dog, bug — perfect for early decoders. The clues under each item point to a single correct answer.
