Explain what CVC words are—three-letter words made up of a consonant, a vowel, and another consonant (like cat, pen, dog). Say a few examples aloud together. - Choose the Right Activity
Select a worksheet that matches your child’s current level. Some worksheets focus on reading and matching, while others include writing, coloring, or cutting and pasting. - Sound It Out
Encourage children to say the sounds slowly, then blend them together. For example, for cat: say c…a…t, then blend: cat. - Complete the Worksheet
- For writing worksheets: write the correct word under the picture.
- For cut and paste: cut out the word cards and paste them under the matching images.
- For coloring: color the picture and the word to reinforce recognition.
- For matching: connect each word to the correct picture.
- Review and Repeat
After finishing, review the words again. Repeat similar activities with new CVC words to build confidence and fluency.
