This hard worksheet challenges kindergartners ready to stretch their CVC skills with trickier vocabulary. Multiple-choice questions ask which word means a small biting insect (gnat), which CVC word rhymes with rug (jug), what a baby bear is called (cub), and which word means to cut with scissors (snip). These items push young readers to listen for sounds and think about meaning together.

Fill-in-the-blank sentences then place CVC words into rich contexts, including a hen that will sit on her eggs, a tub filled with hot water, and a bug that buzzes from flower to flower. This challenge round builds the careful word-choice skills kindergartners will lean on next.
