CV Reading Passages Worksheets

About Our CV Reading Comprehension Worksheets

CV stands for Consonant-Vowel, a simple but essential pattern in phonics where a consonant is followed by a vowel, as in go, me, be, or so. Learning these helps students grasp the fundamental connection between letters and sounds.

Our CV Reading Passages integrate these two-letter patterns into short, context-rich stories. Each passage is designed to include multiple examples of CV words within engaging scenarios, making phonics practice feel natural and meaningful.

By reading these passages, students strengthen their decoding skills and build fluency in a familiar, supportive context. This approach helps early readers confidently bridge from single letter sounds to words, setting up strong foundations for more advanced reading skills.

Looking At Each Worksheet

Here are the CV reading passages currently available:

Beach Day
A sunny tale of waves, sand, and play-CV words like go, me, be, and so naturally appear. Students follow characters building sandcastles or squishing in the surf and answer what they feel, hear, and see. This environment helps them practice CV decoding while enjoying a beach scene.

Cave Quest
A small group ventures into a mysterious cave, using words like go, me, we, and be as they explore further in. Comprehension questions ask students to describe what they find and how they feel, reinforcing both phonics patterns and narrative understanding.

Heroic Day
Join a hero who says go when called and becomes me or helps we in need. This passage uses simple CV words within a heroic storyline to encourage decoding through action and response.

In a treasure-filled story, me and be might show up among jewels and sparkle. Students are asked to recall what glitters and where things are found-engaging them in phonics within a discovery theme.
