CVC Words — Answer Key
Part A: Trace the Words
Trace each CVC word by following the dotted lines.
1. hat
2. bed
3. pin
4. mop
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing vowel on the line to complete the CVC word.
1. ha t (a word for something on your head)
You wear a hat on your head, and the middle sound is the short a. Putting h, a, t together makes hat.
2. pi n (a word for something sharp)
Something sharp like a pin has the short i sound in the middle. The letters p-i-n spell pin.
3. be d (a word for where you sleep)
A bed is where you sleep, and the short e sound goes between b and d. The word is bed.
4. mo p (a word for cleaning the floor)
You use a mop to clean the floor, and the short o sound sits in the middle. M, o, p spells mop.
5. bu s (a word for a big vehicle)
A bus is a big vehicle, and the middle sound is the short u. So b, u, s makes bus.
Part C: True or False
Read each sentence. Circle True or False.
1. The word 'hat' rhymes with 'bat'.
True False
True. Hat and bat both end with the same -at sound, so they rhyme.

3. The middle sound in 'pin' is the short i sound.
True False
True. The vowel between p and n in pin is the short i sound, like in sit and big.
