This medium worksheet pushes first graders past simple tracing and into active CVC word-building with vat, hug, cut, sob, and pup. Students blend separated phonemes like /v/ /a/ /t/ into whole words, swap first letters and middle vowels to transform dug into hug or rip into rap, and identify the missing /o/ sound inside sob. A matching activity then pairs four trickier CVC words — vat, sob, yak, and hem — with short definitions like 'a large tub or pot' and 'bottom edge of a skirt,' growing vocabulary while reinforcing decoding.
