There are many components of reading. The main five are Phonological Awareness, Phonics, Fluency, Vocabulary, and Comprehension. For the purposes of this post, we will be focusing on Phonological Awareness and Phonics to build a beginning reader that is able to decode CVC words and read common high frequency words.
STEP 5 Read CVC Words.
The Texas End of Year TPRI Assessment for Kindergarten expects students to be able to decode CVC words accurately.
My Word Lists FREEBIE includes a page full of CVC words.
I like to print mine out on colorful Astrobrights paper.
The CVC Matching Mats are my go to for practicing reading CVC words. These mats have only 5 words each. The first one focuses on the short a vowel sound. Colorful visuals support learners and color coding on the mats helps little ones keep them organized.
These CVC Matching Mats are quick and easy to assemble. Each page will become one mat. Laminate for durability and add velcro dots if desired. Use them again and again! I store mine in a large plastic bin with many other reading activities. This way I can place the box at a table or on the desktops of a group of students and they are ready to begin center activities. Each student works on a mat. When they finish, they mix up the words, so it is ready for someone else and return it to the box.
Watch the video below to see how easy it is to assemble this FREE CVC Matching Mat.
At 1 minute and 15 seconds.
This NEW CVC words freebie also includes a list of CVC words with pictures.
Making Words with Magnetic Letters is another fun activity many students enjoy. The Florida Center for Reading Research has a similar activity called Make-A-Word using magnetic letters. It is available here on page 28. You’ll need any magnetic letters. I use Alphamagnets from Amazon because they are on Prime and a cookie sheet that costs $1 at Dollar Tree. I created these Magnetic Letters Activities that are easy to use just print on thin paper and laminate with thin lamination film. This will help the magnets still be able to stick to the metal cookie sheet.
My favorite method for practicing CVC words is to play CVC BINGO! The teacher calls out the word and students need to read the words on their card. Kids win by making a straight line like in Tic-Tac-Toe.
Differentiation: As students develop cvc reading they can play until someone fills their card or with multiple CVC Bingo cards.
