CVC Word Work : 1 Letter Changes Everything!

Reading and spelling of CVC words are two key skills to learn for early readers. These important phonic skills reinforce spelling patterns of CVC words, and encourage students to blend and segment onsets and rimes of single syllable words.

These versatile worksheets also encourage students to add or change individual sounds (phonemes) in simple one-syllable words to make new words.

They include activities of substitution of consonants at the beginning and ending; and medial vowels, as well as digraphs and bonus letters.
These 12 worksheets use pictures and visual markers to support spelling and changes that need to be made to create new words.

Wait! Let’s think about this for a minute… This resource here has all these skills and concepts included…that is… amazing!

These worksheets not only support decoding and fluency, but also teach young readers how to spell simple CVC. They are a great way to teach word families, as well as the reading readiness skill of rhyming.

Look at that! This is jammed and packed with so many important reading concepts and skills!

Oh, and let’s not forget that all these phonic worksheets are Ready to Print and Use.

Literacy Stations/Daily 5 Word Work

As a Literacy Station, this resource can be placed in a station for children to compete independently, so they can reinforce skills that have been previously taught.

Morning Work

The worksheets in this pack can be placed in a folder or simply stapled together for each child, or for those who need reinforcement of CVC phonemic skills, and used as morning work as students are waiting for their day to officially begin. These packs can be kept in each student’s desk or in a special location for students to easily grab and get started on their work every morning.

Homework

Another great idea is to use these worksheets for homework. If you want to differentiate, simply send home those sheets that work best for each child.

Support instruction during Guided Reading if you think their decoding skill needs to improve.

If you find such need to improve their decoding, you can start off the Guided Reading section by completing a few pages to reteach or support instruction with a specific decoding concept.
