You are probably familiar with cvc words, but just in case I wanted to quickly explain what a cvc word is. CVC words are three letter words that follow a consonant/vowel/consonant pattern. CVC words are considered the simplest words for emerging readers to decode by blending the three sounds together. So basically when your child is ready to start reading – you start with simple cvc words where they can use phonics skills, beginning sounds and letter sounds they’ve been working on to piece together simple words.

And because practice makes perfect… we have a LOT of really fun cvc word activities and no prep cvc worksheets free for you to choose from.
