Color by Nonsense Word Worksheets For CVC Words, Set 1
Color by Nonsense Word Worksheets For CVC Words, Set 1 These Color by Nonsense Word Worksheets were created to give children a fun way to practice phonics skills and comprehension when reading those all important three letter words with a CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) spelling pattern. This packet has 42 worksheets for the 15 word families included in the HeidiSongs CVC Workbook, Volume One, including at, an, it, ip, in, ig, ot, op, ox, et, en, eg, ug, ut, un. (See the next page for more details.) When beginning readers learn to read a simple three letter CVC word, such as “cat” or “dog,” they sometimes resort to “word calling” and forget to pay any attention to the actual word that they just read. Does the word make sense? Does it mean anything? Other children may try to memorize these words rather than learn to sound them out, and that becomes a problem when they are suddenly confronted many DOZENS of these tiny words that all start to look alike! One solution is to give the children some words to read that are “real” and actually make sense, and have them compare them to “nonsense words.” Nonsense words are really made up words that mean nothing at all, at least in standard English! So the children are forced to think about the meanings of each word and decide if each one is an actual word that means something or not. In these worksheets, the children must color the objects or sections in each picture a specific color, depending on whether it is a real word or not. Reading nonsense words is also good practice for reading long, multisyllabic words such as “encyclopedia,” “condominium,” “auditorium,” or “hippopotamus.” That’s because each syllable is made up of small nonsense words! Children with solid phonics skills can be trained to apply those skills to any word, long or short. They should be able to take a word apart, syllable by syllable, and read it without guessing. To get kids started using these worksheets, I recommend that you do these worksheets TOGETHER as a group. I did it in small groups by first showing the children the letters on large flash cards and helping them sound out the words. Together, we decided if the word had any meaning or not. Then we all colored them together. When almost all of the sections were colored, I released the group to do the rest of the worksheet on their own.
