Missing Letter Sound Fill-in-the-Blank CVC Worksheets Kindergarten 1st Grade

About this resource

A child who can hear that "cat" has three sounds does not always know which ONE is missing when two

of the three letters are already written for them. This gives that exact skill its own page: a

picture confirms the word, two letters are printed, and the student writes only the one that is

missing — first, last, the middle vowel, or a mixed page that varies which one.

EVERYTHING INSIDE (23 pages)

The Four Formats, Every Set

1. Missing Beginning Sound (most support) — the last two letters are printed; write the first.

2. Missing Ending Sound — the first two letters are printed; write the last.

3. Missing Middle Sound (hardest) — the first and last letters are printed; write the vowel.

4. Mixed Missing Sound — one box per word is blank, but which one varies word to word, so the

student has to notice the position before writing anything.

How This Is Different From Sound Boxes Segmenting Cvc Words Worksheets

Type In, Or Print

The name and date lines, the tracker, the class grid, the team note and the home page are type-in

fields in any PDF reader. The letters a student writes in the blank boxes are always pencil work.

This is a fillable PDF; it is not a Google Slides or PowerPoint file.

Who This Is For

Kindergarten and first-grade classrooms, self-contained and resource rooms, and any teacher moving

a student from "segments the whole word" toward "reads it automatically." The home page sends the

same job to a family; the team note hands off what changed since the last meeting.

What This Is, And What It Is Not

A missing-letter spelling practice set with the record-keeping around it. It is not a reading

assessment, not a speech-language evaluation tool, and not a claim about any student's age or rate

of progress.
