Picture-to-Word Phonics: CVC Crossword Practice for KG 

This engaging KG worksheet helps young learners identify and complete CVC (consonant–vowel–consonant) words using picture clues. On page 3, children fill in the missing medial vowel to complete CVC words such as cat, pin, sit, dog, hop, bat, rat, fan, lid, and map using a vowel bank (a, e, i, o, u). 

Learners then strengthen phonics understanding through True/False statements about vowels in CVC words (page 4). Picture-based MCQs on pages 5–6 help children choose the correct word for images such as cat, pot, pin, tap, sun, log, cup, sit, bag, and bed. 

Finally, page 7–8 encourages children to write their own CVC words with specific vowels, ending sounds, and picture cues. 
This worksheet builds decoding skills, phonemic awareness, and vocabulary through fun, visual crossword-style tasks. 

Why Phonics Crosswords Matter?

 Phonics picture crosswords help children: 
1. Recognise vowel sounds in the middle of CVC words. 
2. Strengthen sound–letter mapping for reading fluency. 
3. Improve decoding of unfamiliar words using picture hints. 
4. Build early spelling and writing confidence. 

What’s Inside This Worksheet? 

This Grade KG worksheet introduces young learners to phonics through an engaging picture-based crossword format that makes early reading and spelling practice enjoyable and meaningful.

The worksheet focuses on identifying simple CVC (consonant–vowel–consonant) words using visual clues.

They then move on to a true-or-false phonics activity where they check whether the given words match the pictures correctly.

As learners progress, they solve multiple-choice questions by choosing the correct CVC word that matches each picture clue. These activities strengthen sound–letter association, visual recognition, and decoding skills in an age-appropriate, playful way.
