The Importance of CVC Word Practice
Once students have learned letter sounds, reading CVC words gives them practice combining those sounds in predictable patterns to form simple and familiar words (consonant-vowel-consonant). And once they have sounded out CVC words, students can make connections to corresponding images or actual items in the classroom. These connections help them to build their reading fluency and spelling skill. It also helps to build their reading confidence.♥️

3 Ways to Use CVC Spell and Write Words Activity for Word Work in Your Classroom
- Teacher-led small groups or guided reading groups are a great way to introduce and monitor this activity while students are first learning how to complete the steps. It can also be used as a formative assessment for CVC word mastery by pulling students back to these groups periodically and monitoring how they are doing with the activity.
- Because the steps are so simple and easy to follow, these activities are great for centers and literacy tubs. Once students know the steps, they can access these activities independently. This provides important practice and boosts students’ confidence.
- Having the materials for these activities handy in an “early finishers bin” is a great way to offer additional valuable practice for students that have already finished their assigned work. Again, because the steps are so simple, students can work on this independently without needing teacher support.
