CVC Word Phonics Puzzles by Sound & by Word Family

Do you need more word work centers in your kindergarten literacy stations? These CVC Phonics Puzzles are a great tool to use during your reading center or as an independent word work center. Students can say the sounds, put words together, and find the matching pictures.

Included are 234 CVC words for short a, short I, short o, short e, and short u in two formats. Most of the pictures match the CVC Phonics Worksheets and CVC Blending Cards images. If you already use those phonics resources in your classroom, students will be familiar with the images and easily be able to put the puzzles together.

The puzzles come in two formats. One format has each sound on a separate piece with four pieces. The other format is by word family or onset / rime with three pieces.

CVC Phonics Puzzles by Sound

The first format has three pieces, one for each sound, and a picture, for a total of four pieces.

Phonics Puzzles by Word Family or Onset and Rime

The second format is by word family or onset and rime. Make these puzzles easier by including the picture with the rime. If the picture is included with the rime, the puzzles will only have two pieces. This is the easiest format for students.

Make the Puzzles Easier!

Make the puzzles easier by including the picture with the last letter or the rime pieces instead of cutting it apart as a separate piece.

How to Purchase the Phonics Puzzles
