This free Short O CVC Words worksheet helps young learners build early phonics skills. At the top, students trace six consonant-vowel-consonant words with the short o sound. Then, they search a grid of 20–25 outlined images to find the ones that match the traced words. Students can color in the matching pictures to reinforce word recognition. A great tool for kindergartners and 1st graders learning how to decode and match words to images.
