Are you teaching a little one to read? Using CVC Words phonics to teach your child to read, is the first step to making them independent readers. What are CVC Words? A CVC word is a word that is made up of a consonant, vowel and consonant sound. Cat, hot, tip, man and hut are all CVC words. CVC words can help build kids confidence in reading. For children to start reading, they should first understand the sounds of each letter in the given word. This app is here to help them all along the way. It will teach them individual sounds a word is made up of… 1. Beginning Consonant Sound 2. Ending Consonant Sound 3. Vowel Sound The words in the app are levelled as per phonics standards. The second step is blending of words. Blending is the process of saying the individual sounds in a word, then running them together to make the word. For example: sounding out /b/-/a/-/t/ making bat. It is a technique every child will need to learn and it improves with practice. Here also we provide enough activities to help the child master the skill... Activities range from - 4. Matching Words to Pictures 5. Read two words such as - cut, cat and match them to the picture. 6. Find the word that best describes the picture. 7. Rhyming Words 8.
