CVC Train Worksheet: Write and Build CVC Words!

How to use this worksheet

Look at the picture on the first train car and say the word slowly, breaking it into its three sounds. Help your child write the matching letters for each sound in the box above that train car. Move through each remaining train car the same way, letting your child sound out more of the word independently as their confidence builds. If available, use Lego blocks or letter tiles to physically build a word before or after writing it, comparing the two versions.

Materials needed

• Pencil
• Crayons
