What are CVC Words?

A CVC word is a single-syllable, three-letter word that consists of a consonant-vowel-consonant pattern.

(As you can see, consonant-vowel-consonant) is what CVC stands for.)

It’s important to note that in consonant-vowel-consonant words, the vowel is always a short vowel sound because it is a closed syllable.

(The syllable is closed because there is a consonant at the end).

CVC words will always be short vowel words .

The most “famous” example of a CVC word is the word cat.

The beginning sound of a CVC word will always be a consonant (the c in cat).

The middle sound of a CVC word will always be a vowel and it will always have the short sound (the a in cat).

The final sound or ending sound of a CVC word will always be a consonant (the t in cat).

Here are a few more examples of CVC words:

(You can find a full CVC word list pdf (as a free download) at the bottom of this post.)

presentation on cvc words

What CVC Words are NOT:

Remember, not all short vowel words are CVC words.

For example, the word duck .

It only has 3 sounds. It starts with a consonant, has a medial short vowel, and the end of the word has a consonant.

However, that sound is represented by a digraph, which is two letters. Thus, the word duck is not a CVC word, it is a CVCC word.

Also, not all 3 letter words are CVC words.

For example, the word ask .

It has three letters and the short vowel sound. It is still a single closed syllable, too. However, it doesn’t follow the consonant-vowel-consonant pattern. Instead, it has a VCC pattern.

When do students learn CVC Words?

Honestly, too many people focus on what grade/age a child should be when they learn a new skill, like CVC words.

Yes, in the United States, CVC words are typically learned in Kindergarten.

However, that doesn’t really matter. What matters is if they already know what comes before learning CVC words.

This blog post will go into much more depth on the following, but here are important skills that students should know before learning CVC words:

  • the difference between a letters and words
  • some letters and their sounds (more info below)
  • phonemic awareness (Students need to have the ability to hear the individual sounds in words. Being able to orally segment and blend words with three sounds is a good indicator that a student is ready to learn CVC words).

CVC words are important to beginning readers because it’s when they really start decoding words .

It’s an exciting time because it’s when the “I just read that!” lightbulb goes off in their head and they see themselves as a reader. (This was seriously my favorite part of teaching kindergarten.

presentation on cvc words

Usually, the CVC words are the next step in reading and phonics after learning letter names and letter sounds.

(They can actually start to read CVC words before knowing ALL letter sounds. They only need to know a few consonant sounds and a few short vowel sounds in order to be able to read and write CVC words!) 

Because of this, the most common time that young learners start to have CVC word phonics lessons is in kindergarten. However, they are still something that can be practice in first grade (and other grades, if the student is struggling to read).

Important Note: Students will struggle to blend, read, and write CVC words if they do not have a foundation in phonemic awareness. If you notice that a young reader is struggling to decode CVC words, go back to phonemic awareness. Have the student practice the oral blending of CVC words before having them try to decode a CVC word.

Because explicit and systematic phonics instruction is proven to be the most effective, I recommend explicitly teaching your students to identify CVC words be their letters and pattern – consonant, vowel, consonant.

My favorite way to do this is by co-creating an anchor chart with my students. Together with your students, add short vowel CVC words and draw a matching picture (or attach matching picture cards).

Types of CVC Words

While there are many CVC words that are real words, you can also mix vowels and consonants in the same consonant-vowel-consonant pattern to make nonsense words .

I like to include nonsense words practice, especially in assessments.

After having students decode a CVC word, I ask students to tell me if it’s a real word or a nonsense word.

Some teachers call them silly words, but let’s use academic vocabulary with our students – they can handle it!

Here are some examples of nonsense CVC words:

CVC Word Families

Have you ever heard of a CVC word family?

A word family is a group of words that has the same rime, but different onsets. (Don’t worry, I’ll explain!)

presentation on cvc words

In the case of CVC words, the words in the same CVC word family will have a different beginning sound (first consonant) but the same vowel-consonant ending.

For example: bat, cat, fat, hat are all in the same CVC word family – the “at family.” Any other CVC words that end in -at are also in that family.

Often times, teachers will teach students word families to help them focus on beginning sounds.

sight word reading passages

This is also a good way to practice manipulating phonemes orally. (Example: The word is bat. Change the /b/ to /c/. What is the new word?) This is an essential skill in phonemic awareness, and one of the foundational skills in learning to read.

(Another reason that word families are good for kindergarten kids (or any young readers) is because word family words will rhyme.)

CVC Words & Simple Sight Words (High frequency words)

Did you know that a lot of high frequency words are actually CVC words? I learned this when I was reading and researching red words / heart words – a more effective way to teach high frequency words .

In fact, we don’t need to teach our students to memorize these words – they can sound them out!

Here are some examples of high frequency words that follow the CVC pattern:

Ways to Practice CVC Words 

There are so many ways to practice CVC words.

Building Phonemic Awareness for Reading CVC Words

Remember, if your students are struggling decoding (reading) or encoding (writing) CVC words, go back to phonemic awareness.

Practice CVC words orally (don’t add letters – yet) using sound boxes (elkonin boxes), or oral language games. 

blending and segmenting words activities

For example, use bingo chips and sound boxes. Have students slide of push a bingo chip into each box as they break up a word. To add even more fun – use magnetic bingo chips and a magnetic wand to remove all the chips after they finish the word. Repeat! (This is so much fun!)

You can build up to CVC words by focusing on beginning sounds, medial sounds, and final sounds in isolation. 

Using Orthographic Mapping / Word Mapping to Practice CVC Words

A recent body of research known as The Science of Reading has shown the value in practicing orthographic mapping, or word mapping, to practice decoding and encoding words.

presentation on cvc words

I highly recommend using word mapping to practice writing (encoding) cvc words.

(Click here to learn more about word mapping .)

CVC Words Activities for hands-on learning

I like introducing new CVC words activities in small groups before having young readers move onto doing them in a literacy center or as independent practice.

Working on CVC words is not a “one and done” lesson.

You should be continually reviewing CVC words in all modes of language – reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Remember to explicitly refer to the consonant, vowel, consonant pattern!

To throw in some extra learning during transition time or down times, check out these FREE CVC videos !

Some hands-on way to practice CVC words includes:

  • Segmenting and blending CVC words audibly/with Elkonin boxes and/or manipulatives
  • Word mapping CVC words
  • CVC word cards – matching CVC words with pictures
  • Building CVC words with magnetic letters
  • CVC word mats

What do students learn AFTER CVC Words?

After students master CVC words, they typically move onto CCVC and CVCC words. The two consonants next to each other, in this case, will represent a digraph. For more information on digraphs, check back soon!

Why are CVC words so important?

CVC words are some of the first words students learn to read. They have a simple pattern—consonant-vowel-consonant—which makes it easier for students to blend the sounds into words. Even when students know all their letter sounds, these words are short enough that they don’t require too much working memory to blend from start to finish.

CVC words are also words that students can manipulate easily, switching out beginning and ending sounds to make new words and strengthening their phonemic awareness. Replacing the /c/ in cat for /r/ to make rat, for example.

And CVC words form the basis for syllables later. CVC words and the skills students use to sound out CVC words come into play when students sound out two- and three-syllable words like hamlet or miracle .

20 Fun CVC Words Games & Activities to Teach Phonics

20 Fun CVC Words Games & Activities to Teach Phonics

If you're a primary teacher, you already know how essential CVC words are for helping your students learn how to read! New readers need lots of practice with these simple words, and fortunately, these CVC words games make learning so much fun!

One of my favourite things to teach my students is always CVC words! These simple words are the first real words your students will read independently. They're easy to sound out and short enough to manipulate easily. 

Since they're such a huge part of learning to read (alongside phonemic awareness skills) you'll spend lots of time teaching and practising these words with your students. Because of that, they become a bit repetitive.

That's where CVC games come in! The best CVC word activities are engaging and interactive. Although some can be played independently, it can be beneficial to have students work with a partner to keep their motivation high.

20 Best CVC Words Games

These games were all designed to help your students build their literacy skills in a developmentally-appropriate way using principles from synthetic phonics. Plus, I made them to be fun and hands-on!

Note : Most of these activities include tips to make the task more complex for students who are catching on quickly, like writing the word out on a whiteboard or using it in a sentence. Please adapt the games to work for your students!

1. Snakes & Ladders

In this spin on the classic board game, your students will decode simple CVC words to finish the game!

cvc words games

You can easily use in your literacy centers or even add them to your morning bins to practise those phonics skills right away.

2. CVC Clown Toss

This is one of my favourite CVC games! It can be played indoors, but it's also a fun interactive game to play outside on a sunny day. 

cvc-words-games

As students pick up the flash cards, they check to see if they have a ball that matches the words on the game board. If they do, they can put the ball on the board and try to fill it up!

cvc words games

3. CVC Connect Four

Since many students are familiar with the Connect Four board game, they usually catch onto this activity quickly! 

cvc words games

There are two players. The first player tries to decode a word on the board, and if they get it right, they get to cover it with a game piece. The next player tries to do the same. The first student to get 4 in a row wins!

4. Crash CVC Activity

In this game, students take turns removing cards from a pile and reading them out loud. For every word they say correctly, they add it to their stack. However, if they grab the crash card, they must put all of their cards back in the pile! 

cvc words games

The goal is to see who can get the most cards. I have several versions of this game, including ones for CVCC CCVC words ,  tricky words (sight  words ) and consonant digraphs , so you can change the cards to fit your lesson!

5. Drive & Decode

If you teach Kindergarten or first grade, this is a great activity to practise blending and segmenting individual phonemes! 

cvc words games

Your student will get to roll the car over each letter, saying the individual sounds of the CVC word as they go. It's an easy way to motivate a young child who loves cars, and I have several other Drive & Decode activities (including digital versions) on the resources page of Mrs Learning Bee . 

6. Roll a Silly Sentence

Once your students finish get the hang of reading CVC words, they're ready to build sentences. I love this game because the sentences are always fun to hear, and the kids can't wait to make another one!

cvc words games

7. Buried Treasure Board Game

This interactive game tests your students' knowledge of real words! They must dig coins with CVC and nonsense words out of a pile and read each one. 

cvc words games

If they find a real word, they save it on their treasure mat. If they find fake words, they go in the trash. This activity practices decoding and making sense of the words they're reading, so they're really effective. Plus, you can keep this one simple or add props to make it even more exciting! 

There is also a digital version too!

cvc words games

8. Hidden CVC Words

This digital game is perfect for distance learning or to play on an interactive white board!  Your students must find the images representing CVC words in a graphic.

cvc words games

9. I Spy CVC Words

Early readers absolutely love these games! With a written word bank at the bottom and pictures on the game board, students must match the written word with the images.

cvc words games

This is a great activity to build phonemic awareness and is a perfect next step after playing the hidden words game above. Plus, you just need to print and go!

10. CVC Word Jigsaw Puzzles

In this fun game, students match the pieces of the CVC word puzzles. I love using this one to practise blending phonemes!

cvc words games

11. Buzz to the Hive

As students buzz to the beehive, they must place a word with a matching middle sound on the game board. This game includes two sets of words (CVC and CVCC/CCVC) and can also be used with phonics magnets from Magnificent Learning Supplies for lots of fun learning!

cvc words games

12. CVC Word Building Trains

There are different ways to play this game, but the main idea is that students blend individual sounds to build the words in the train.  

cvc words games

There are templates (in 2 designs) for 110 words so you can use this again and again!

cvc words games

13. Swat the Fly

If students find the word from their word pile on their mat, they can lay the card down and swat the fly!

cvc words games

14. Tic Tac Toe

Your students are probably already familiar with this game! If they can read the word, they can add a playing piece. Whoever gets three in a row wins!  

cvc words games

15. Soupy Sounds

For this game, students use a disposable spoon marked with a CVC word (use the provided templates if you don't have spoons) to scoop up magnetic letters to spell the word in a soup bowl. It's perfect for practising decoding!  

cvc words games

16. Super Decoders Board Game

This set includes four different board games at three levels of complexity, so your students can practise a variety of decoding skills. You can even make custom word cards to practise new words!

cvc words games

17. Butterfly Catch

For this fun game, partners take turns reading the CVC words on their cards and catching them in their nets. There are 100 CVC words included!

cvc words games

18. Phonics Fish

This is one of my favourites because kids love it! Add paper clips to your CVC words and give your students a magnetic fishing pole! There's also a version with tricky words (sight words ) to keep the fun going!

CVC Words Games

19. CVC Bingo

Pre-readers who are still building their phonemic awareness will love this version of bingo! There are three versions to choose from, each increasing in complexity as your students develop their reading skills.

cvc words games

20. CVC Word Fidget Spinners

Once your students spin the fidget spinner on the word card, they can read, write, spell, build, or manipulate the word. This activity is a fun, interactive way to review CVC words in literacy centers. I love using the same words for all students, but changing the task as needed to make it more complex!
