This cactus themed Color by CVC Word freebie is a preview of our full size Color by CVC Word units. This freebie comes with a "short a" puzzle featuring the words cat, mad, jam, and pan. Students can use the picture clue puzzle or the word clue puzzle. In the picture clue puzzle, students look at the picture of the word and then find the corresponding word to color. In the word clue puzzle, students have the CVC word to look at and find the matching word to color. No prep! Just print and go.

**This freebie comes with short a only, but the full units come with all five vowel families, each in two difficulty levels for 10 puzzles total.**

You can find all of the themed Color by CVC Word units here

1-100 HFW Resource

This resource is presented in an easy to use, kindergarten or first grade friendly format. Perfect to use after explicit instruction in the spelling pattern or irregularities associated with words that are sometimes not decodable!

Students use a variety of modalities to orthographically map the the word including:

• Finger trace
• Find and circle
• Write
• Color
• Read it in 2-3 easily decodable sentences
• Draw it
• Use in a sentence - A perfect way to introduce sentence stems!

This resource is perfect to use in ELA small group stations as it provides a visual reminder of what to do in each section for non-readers.

We all know that memorizing words is not the best practice as it relates to the Science of Reading. Using these sheets after explicit instruction will help young learners retain and practice their skills!
