Engage early readers with these interactive and visually appealing CVC Word Puzzles focusing on the short “e” sound (e.g. bed, net, ten, leg, men, peg). Each puzzle is thoughtfully designed to support phonics learning, word building, and visual recognition.

What’s included:

  • A collection of 15 CVC word puzzles with short “e” vowel sounds
  • Each puzzle is split into 3 pieces – one letter per piece (C-V-C)
  • A matching image is split across the puzzle pieces

When children arrange the letters in the correct order, the picture forms correctly – providing instant feedback and a sense of accomplishment

Perfect for:

  • Phonics practice
  • Independent or small group literacy centers
  • Early years and KS1 classrooms
  • Home learning and intervention sessions

Why it works:
Combining phonics with visual problem-solving, this resource helps children:

  • Recognize and spell CVC words
  • Understand letter-sound correspondence
  • Develop fine motor and sequencing skills
  • Build confidence through self-correcting puzzles

Print, cut, laminate, and use again and again!

Notes:

Although there are more CVC words with short “e” sound that could be included, I have selected a set of words that are easier for children to recognize and associate with corresponding pictures.
