This gentle starter sheet introduces Grade 1 spellers to CVC short-vowel words through tracing practice with cat, bat, pig, hop, bug, and bed. First graders write each word carefully, then complete fill-in-the-blank sentences about pets, bedtime, and buzzing insects. True-false questions check that kids understand three-letter CVC words always hold a short vowel in the middle, with no silent e sneaking in at the end to change the sound.
