Introducing CVC Words in Preschool – Resources

There are SO MANY different activities that you can do with CVC words – just do a quick Pinterest search, it’s a little overwhelming! After trying a ton of these in the classroom, I realized that I really needed some activities that could be used any time of year, and that were easy to store. Here are the resources I’ve created and use regularly for practicing CVC words:

CVC Ring Books – These are the best because the pieces are all self-contained, and they’re really easy for children to use independently. The large colored strip has the word family ending, and the smaller white boxes have a variety of letters that are placed in front to create a word. These are put together by family with a binder ring, making it easy to switch the beginning letter. All of the word families are color-coded and labeled so it’s very clear which pieces go together.

CVC Paint Chips – This is one of those activities that children WANT to do, and that’s always a win! Each word family is on a color gradient, with matching colored letter strips. The letter strips can be slid up and down behind the word family paint chip to change the word. There is a little prep to get these all cut out, but they can be printed as you’re ready for them to save time and once they’re ready they can be used over and over again.

Word Family Mats – These are pretty basic, but sometimes that’s just what you need. What I love about these is how versatile they are. Print out the pages and laminate them, then they can be used over and over again, either with dry erase markers to write beginning letters, or with magnet letters or other letter manipulatives to build the words.

All of these are available in my TPT Store, they can be purchased individually, or as a bundle. How will you use them in the classroom?!
