These free reading comprehension passages for kids are designed to give children simple and enjoyable reading practice using short stories followed by comprehension questions.

Once children begin recognising letters and their sounds, the next exciting step is putting those sounds together to make words.

These free CVC words worksheets are designed to help young children practise reading, tracing, matching and writing simple three-letter words in a fun and manageable way.

CVC words are ideal for children who are beginning to explore phonics and early reading.
