CVC Word Worksheets for Reception and Year 1 | Initial Sound and Final Sound Worksheets | Medial Vowel Worksheets for EYFS

One Minute Phonics - CVC Words

This one minute phonics activity works on using different letters to create CVC words. The letters are split into boxes with vowels in the middle.

This activity develops skills and understanding of medial vowels. Children find medial vowel challenging so this phonics activity card will give them a quick blast to consolidate the learning of CVC words.

Encourage the children to use cubes, scrabble blocks, magnetic letters or write them in books or on a whiteboard.

Time your class and this will give them a target to beat each day.

One Minute Phonics - CVC Stage 2

Now that your class have completed stage one and are familiar with creating CVC words practically, they can now move on to create some CVC words from memory.

Each box has a different medial vowel. The children will have one minute to fill one box. Once the task is over, your more able children can try to write a sentence using one or more CVC words. Your less able children can write the words on the lines.

There are also blank activity cards with no medial vowel E.g. _ _ _ to challenge your more able children, as they must add in the medial vowel also.

You can also use this activity to work on initial and final sounds. You can give each child a different letter throughout the week and they must write a word in each box using that particular letter.

Overall, a fantastic resource!

You will need scrabble letters or your can use cubes. The children must create the word to match the picture by sounding out.

You can also give each child in your class the resources and ask them to sort them based on the medial vowel.

CVC Flashcards

This resource includes 12 words of each medial vowel sound to help your children develop their word recognition and medial vowel knowledge.

Children get particularly confused at times as to which vowel they need to use when writing independently. This resource gives them many examples to develop their phonics knowledge.

CVC Word Creator

This is a super resource that includes 12 flashcards using the medial vowels a e i o & u.

Your class must create as many words as they can using the flashcards. They can do this practically using cubes or scrabble pieces or by writing the CVC words in books or whiteboards. Each medial vowel has two different cards and your children must ensure that the medial vowel, which is a different colour, is in the middle of each word.

This is a great resource as a warm up activity during registration and as a plenary to consolidate what has been learnt.
