About this resource
Description
Three letter words are where reading begins. These three letter words word wall flash cards give preschool to 2nd grade readers 60 decodable CVC words, words built from a consonant, a short vowel and a consonant, like cat, bed, pig, dog and bug. Each word is printed in big, clear handwriting-style letters, and the vowel is printed in color so children can see the sound that changes from word to word.
The cards are grouped by vowel: 12 short a words, 12 short e words, 12 short i words, 12 short o words and 12 short u words. Print the sheets one-sided, cut on the dashed lines and tape each vowel group under its own heading to build a CVC word wall. The same cards work as flash cards for small groups, a phonics center or practice at home: point to each letter, say its sound and blend the sounds to read the word. A Kindergarten practice worksheet lets each child read three similar words and circle the one that names the picture.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover page
- A How to Use page with materials, prep tips and simple steps
- 60 CVC word cards on ten sheets, 12 for each short vowel, with the vowel printed in color
- A Kindergarten practice worksheet: read the words and circle the word for the picture
- An answer key listing every card by number and vowel group, plus the practice answer key
Why These Flash Cards Help Kids
First, decodable CVC words let children use the letter sounds they know to read real words right away. Second, the colored vowel draws the eye to the middle sound, the part of a short word children most often miss. Third, a word wall keeps these words in sight every day, so reading them becomes quick and automatic.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Copy the cards onto cardstock and store each vowel group in its own zip-top bag. Mix two groups and have children sort them by vowel sound, or find two cards that rhyme, like cat and hat. Ask children to use each word in a short sentence. These preschool cvc flash cards also make a quick check: note the words a child sounds out slowly and practice those next. Pair the three letter words word wall flash cards with the resources below for more CVC practice.
