Colour by CVC Words – Short /e/ Focus 🎨🧠

Make phonics practice engaging and effective with this hands-on Colour by CVC Words activity, designed to reinforce decoding skills with a focus on short /e/ vowel sounds.

Students will read and decode CVC words repetitively as they colour each section of the picture according to the colour code key provided. This repeated exposure supports fluency and automaticity, while the colouring component adds a fun, creative twist to literacy learning.

Each worksheet includes a clear answer key, making it easy for teachers to check work or support independent learners. This resource is ideal for use during literacy rotations, individual tasks, early finisher activities, homework, consolidation, or as a low-prep phonics centre.

Whether you're targeting decoding, vowel sound recognition, or simply looking for a purposeful literacy task, this activity is a versatile addition to your classroom toolkit!
