- What is a CVC word?
- A CVC word is a three-letter word made of consonant–vowel–consonant — like cat, sun, pig, bed or top. CVC blending is the foundation of early reading in UKG.
- How is UKG English different from LKG English?
- LKG is about recognising letters and the sounds they make. UKG blends those sounds into short words and starts reading simple sentences and sight words.
- Are these UKG worksheets free?
- Yes — every UKG English worksheet is free to download, print and reuse. No signup required.
- Do they include answer keys?
- Yes. Each workbook has an answer-key view so you can check beginning sounds, CVC blends and matches in under a minute.
- My child isn't blending CVC words yet — what should I do first?
- Go back to vowel sounds (a, e, i, o, u) and beginning-sound worksheets for a couple of weeks. Once the vowel sound is automatic, CVC blending clicks quickly.
