How to Use the Worksheets
These free printable CVC word picture searches are so fun, and I think your students will love them!
Students will start by sounding out and reading the 6 CVC words at the bottom. Then students will look for pictures of those words.
If they are using the color version, they can circle the picture and then trace the CVC word. If they are using the black and white version, they will color the picture once they find it and then trace the CVC word.
Ideas for the Classroom
These picture word searches would be so beneficial for multiple levels of readers. Your beginning readers can practice putting sounds together and reading simple CVC words.
While more advanced readers can write their word choices on a recording sheet or with a dry-erase marker on a whiteboard. By writing their answers, they would be practicing sounding out the word and writing the correct matching letter and letter formations.
Even higher students could be asked to use their words in a sentence or think of rhyming words to match the words on their word searches.
These picture searches are super versatile and can be used to meet your instructional needs and the needs of your students developmentally. You can incorporate these into whole group lessons, small group lessons, literacy centers, and word work, or use them for independent practice, morning work, or reading warm-ups.
Grab these picture CVC word searches for a simple and engaging activity for all the short vowels. They are non-themed, so they can be used year-round. Get your planner and favorite pen and add these to your lesson plans today!
