This medium worksheet gives first graders a second round of CVC blending and word-family work using nub, rod, jab, tug, ham, wad, gap, and bug. Children blend phonemes like /n/ /u/ /b/ into whole words, swap a starting letter to turn cod into rod, and change a middle vowel to morph hum into ham. A matching section then ties cod, jab, rut, and wad to definitions like 'a quick punch,' 'a groove in a road,' and 'a type of fish,' so children gain new vocabulary while practicing the same blending and segmenting skills they will rely on for every short-vowel text ahead.
