These lessons explain CVC (Consonant-Vowel-Consonant) words for Kindergarten and Grade 1 students.
A CVC word is a simple, three-letter word that that follow the consonant-vowel-consonant pattern (e.g., cat, dog, sun). They are excellent for helping young children learn phonics, blending, and decoding skills.
The following table gives some examples of CVC words. Scroll down the page for more examples and explanations.
Start by ensuring children know the sounds of individual letters (e.g., /c/, /a/, /t/). Use flashcards, songs, and games to reinforce letter sounds.
Teach short vowel sounds explicitly. Use visual aids, like pictures, to associate vowels with their sounds.
Teach kids to say each letter’s sound and blend them together to form a word. Example: /c/ - /a/ - /t/ = cat.
The following printable worksheets can be used to practice writing CVC words while reinforcing reading.
