Description
Even after beginning readers have learned their basic code letter-sound links, it’s common for them to continue confuse letter-sound links associated with the short vowels – <a>, <e>, <i>, <o>, and <o> – when reading words.
This 33-page resource is designed to help students decode and blend consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) combinations to form words. It includes 26 exercises of structured practice for each short vowel in CVC words. It also includes exercises that:
- mix commonly confused vowels including <a> v <u> and <e> v <i>; and
- contrast pairs of words differing only by the vowel (e.g. “bag” v “bug” and “sell” v “sill”).
Practice decoding CVC words by decoding basic code graphemes into phonemes (speech sounds), and then blending the phonemes together to read the words.
