Short Vowel Worksheets – A, E, I, O, U (CVC Word Practice)

A complete set of five early phonics worksheets designed to support pupils in recognising, reading and spelling short-vowel CVC words. Each worksheet focuses on one vowel sound and includes a range of missing-vowel CVC words supported by clear, child-friendly illustrations.

Perfect for Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 children working on early phonics skills, as well as SEND and EAL learners who benefit from structured, visual literacy tasks.

Across the collection, pupils develop essential phonics skills including short-vowel recognition, blending and segmenting CVC words, early decoding strategies and foundational spelling. The visual prompts and simple layouts make the worksheets accessible for young learners and particularly helpful for SEND and EAL learners who benefit from well-scaffolded literacy tasks.

These worksheets are perfect for daily phonics lessons, small-group reading sessions, targeted interventions, homework, morning work or independent literacy stations. They are also fully compatible with digital platforms such as iPad and Showbie, making them versatile for both classroom and remote learning.

Teachers value this resource for its clarity, structure and strong focus on short-vowel mastery. The pack provides a consistent format across all five vowels, helping children recognise patterns, apply their phonics knowledge and build confidence in reading and writing.
