The Science of Reading research puts emphasis on the important role CVC words play in early reading instruction. Teaching and practicing CVC words will increase the many skills crucial for reading fluency: knowledge of phonics, phonemic awareness, decoding skills, and word recognition. Reading CVC words help build phonemic awareness. This is the ability to hear and manipulate individual sounds in spoken language. When students are learning to read, they see many short words that change just one phoneme or sound. This builds awareness of the sound sequences which also aid in learning to write. We have created a lot of effective products that will aid your students in developing these important skills.
