Hidden CVC Word Family Coloring Worksheets
Here is another unique group of Hidden Words for your students to find and color, but these are hidden CVC words instead
of sight words! Children use their visual discrimination, phonics, and reading skills to find the target CVC (consonant vowel- consonant) word and color in the section that it is in. When finished correctly, the word itself is shown! Children
LOVE this, and enjoy proudly showing off their finished papers. Kids have the option of coloring in the rest of the words or
not at the teacher's discretion, allowing teachers to let this activity last a longer or shorter time as needed for classroom
management purposes. These worksheets also make a great resource for homework or independent class time, since they
are practically self checking.
To use these worksheets, first introduce the CVC word. Have the children sound out the words and spell it aloud. I always
introduce new words using the Sound Blending Songs too, of course! Once the children are comfortable with the new word,
then show them how this word differs from other words in spelling. Tell them to look at each word on the page, pay attention to the letters, and color only the spaces that contain the target word on the page with the designated color. As an optional activity, let them color the rest of the words any other color. Usually, my faster workers and the ones that enjoy
coloring more like to color in the rest of the spaces in a rainbow of colors, while the little ones that do not enjoy these
types of fine motor skills choose not to. Feel free to designate the instructions as you see fit to suit your own classroom
management needs.
