So now that you have these lists, let me share some of my favorite cvc activities and printables. I’ll link everything that way if you see something you like you can grab it for your class.

CVC Word Games

A great way to practice with consonant-vowel-consonant words is to find activities where students will build them with varying manipulatives. For example, you can…

1. Have laminated cards that have a picture and a cvc word with a missing letter. Using the picture as a clue, children can use a dry erase marker to fill in the missing letter.

2. Provide a picture and three empty boxes. Using alphabet magnets children will build the cvc word that matches the picture.

3. Have picture and alphabet cards. Children pick a picture card and then build the cvc word with their alphabet cards.

Below are pictures that show examples of the above-mentioned activities.

CVC Words With Pictures

It’s also really important to provide pictures when you first start working with cvc words. These pictures will help students begin to internalize the process of segmenting and blending three sounds to make a word. Hands-on activities for this can include…

1. Looking at a cvc word and three different pictures. Using their letter-sound knowledge they will sound out the cvc word and identify the picture that matches.

2. CVC word puzzles are another great way to practice. Having a picture clue will allow children to figure out which pieces belong together.

CVC Word Printables

Lastly, I like to have printables ready for my fast finishers, homework, and just as an extra resource to help children build fluency with reading and writing consonant-vowel-consonant words.
