From the author

About this resource

This resource includes CVC words for students to practice reading and develop their phonological awareness. Each dot represents a sound within each word and students are to touch the dot while making each sound, then blend all sounds together, and then read the word.

Example - [bat] - Students will look at each letter, make the sound of each letter, and then blend all the sounds: /b/ /a/ /t/ = bat

The first book presents the CVC words in the following order:

* short a CVC words

* short e CVC words

* short i CVC words

* short o CVC words

* short u CVC words

In the classroom

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Decode and read aloud 80 short-vowel CVC words (16 words each for short a, e, i, o and u).

  • Blend individual phonemes to read unfamiliar consonant-vowel-consonant words.

  • Distinguish between short vowel sounds by working through one dedicated word list per vowel.

Teaching tips

  • Introduce one vowel page at a time rather than the whole booklet, since each page is a self-contained set for one short vowel sound.

  • Because each word list is printed twice per page, cut the sheet in half to give two students their own copy, or keep one as a spare.

  • Use the lists for daily fluency drills, timing how many of the 16 words a student can read correctly in a set time.

Skills covered

  • CVC decoding — students read simple consonant-vowel-consonant words grouped by short vowel sound.

  • Phoneme blending — students combine individual letter sounds to read each three-letter word.

  • Short-vowel discrimination — students practice one vowel sound at a time across five separate word-list pages.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Why does the same word list appear twice on each page?

Each page repeats its 16-word list twice so one printed sheet can be cut in half into two matching copies, useful for pairs of students or a spare copy.
