Unit 2 - CVC

Download free CVC Words Flashcards with sound icons. These short vowel cards support sorting, decoding, and phonics review.

This free set of CVC Words Flashcards provides a simple yet highly effective tool for phonics instruction. Each card pairs a short vowel CVC word with a nonfiction picture, giving students a clear sound icon that connects letters to their sounds.

Teachers can use these cards to review CVC words, strengthen decoding skills, or support sorting activities. For example, when a short “/a/” vowel card is displayed, students sort words like bag, hat, cat, and ram into the matching category. Words that do not contain the target vowel are placed in a separate pile. This interactive approach reinforces vowel sound recognition and deepens students’ understanding of CVC word structures.
