What are CVC words? CVC words are single syllable three-phoneme words that follow the pattern of consonant sound, vowel sound, consonant sound. Learning about CVC words is an important tool in phonics as it can help children with reading, writing and rhyming three-phoneme words. CVC words help introduce children to reading by first learning the sounds of the individual letters, digraphs or trigraphs and blending those three sounds into a whole word. Digraphs are two letters that make one sound.

BLENDING PRACTICE with CVC words. A key component to learning how to read is BLENDING! If a child cannot blend (blend individual sounds together to read the word) they will not be able to read. At first, children say each sound and then blend to read the word. To make children into fluent readers, they need a lot of blending practice as the aim is that they will be able to read words by sight. Practising with word families like this is a great support to building up reading speed and confidence.
