This sight words and CVC word worksheet helps beginner readers, kindergarten students, and early ESL learners practice recognizing simple high-frequency words while strengthening basic phonics skills.
Students begin by searching for and circling target words hidden in the picture. The activity encourages learners to carefully scan the image to find the focus words hot, man, mom, nip, and ram. This fun word hunt helps build sight word recognition, visual scanning skills, and early reading confidence.
The playful illustration also contains additional CVC (consonant–vowel–consonant) words mixed throughout the picture. These simple phonetic words help students practice decoding common letter patterns while distinguishing them from the target vocabulary.
In the second activity, students unscramble mixed-up letters to write the correct words. This reinforces spelling, phonics awareness, and correct letter order, giving learners another opportunity to practice reading and writing the words.
The engaging picture and simple tasks make the worksheet ideal for young learners who are just beginning to read and write in English.
