Complete-the-Sound: Missing CVC Vowel Practice for KG

This KG worksheet strengthens children’s ability to identify and fill in missing vowel sounds inside CVC (consonant–vowel–consonant) words. On page 3, learners choose the correct vowel from a vowel bank to complete words such as cap, hat, sun, pen, map, bag, rat, fan, lid, and tap, guided by picture clues. 

On page 4, children assess whether CVC words contain the correct vowel sound, deepening their phonemic discrimination skills. 
Pages 5–6 feature picture-supported MCQs where students must pick the correct vowel sound to complete words like hen, can, pin, sit, bat, fin, rod, leg, top, and mop. 
Finally, pages 7–8 allow learners to write their own vowel-based CVC words as well as words ending in g, p, and t, and a picture-based CVC type.

This worksheet builds strong decoding habits, reinforces vowel comprehension, and improves early spelling accuracy.

Why Missing-Vowel Practice Matters?

CVC vowel-sound practice helps children: 
1. Identify middle sounds accurately for early reading. 
2. Strengthen phoneme–grapheme (sound-to-letter) mapping. 
3. Decode unfamiliar words more confidently. 
4. Build foundational spelling and writing skills.

What’s Inside This Worksheet?

🧠 Exercise 1 – Fill the Missing Vowel 
Children fill in vowels for 10 CVC words using a vowel bank and picture clues (page 3).

✏️ Exercise 2 – True or False 
Learners evaluate whether CVC words contain the correct vowel (page 4).

📘 Exercise 3 – Missing-Sound MCQs

This worksheet provides structured, phonics-rich practice ideal for building confident early readers.
