Segmenting CVC Word Worksheets

Kids don’t become strong readers just by blending words—they need to segment them too.
You’ve tried tapping out sounds on fingers, clapping syllables, even stretching words like rubber bands. And while some kids catch on, others still struggle to break CVC words into their individual sounds.

Here’s the hard truth: phonemic awareness isn’t built by chance—it’s built through repeated, structured practice that makes kids hear and see how words are made.

That’s where these Segmenting CVC Words Worksheets come in. Each activity guides students to listen for beginning, middle, and ending sounds, then record them in writing. The repetition makes the process automatic, and the variety keeps kids engaged.

The problem with relying only on oral segmenting games? They’re hard to manage in a busy classroom, and kids often zone out when it isn’t their turn. Worksheets solve that by giving every student hands-on practice at the same time—making small groups, centers, or independent practice actually productive.

👉 If you’re tired of reteaching the same short vowel words, these low-prep pages give your students the structured, meaningful practice they need to master phoneme segmentation.

Perfect for:

• Daily phonics warm-ups

• Small group intervention

• Literacy centers

• Take-home practice

Because once kids can segment sounds, spelling and reading finally start to click.
