CVC Words Phonic Games

Here is a set of 6 simple phonics games to help children learn to read CVC words.

These games will help your child to learn to blend three-letter words with a short vowel sound. That means, to put sounds together to make a word. The child has to be able to feel and hear the word that is being sounded out.

These games are supplied in both colour and black for eco printing.

We suggest laminating the pieces for durability.
