When it comes to reading CVC words, it’s always best to make it FUN! My students love using our Read and Reveal cards because they get to reveal the hidden picture after reading the CVC word. These cards are great for struggling readers both in kindergarten and first grade and help them use their phonics strategies while reading.
Have you tried Read and Reveal in your classroom?
My students are absolutely rocking reading CVC words with these cards!
I stuck all the cards in a basket and set it out on the table during guided reading. My students take turns picking a card, reading the word and checking to see if they read it correctly. As an incentive, I told my kiddos they can keep the card in front of them if they read it right, but they have to put it back if they didn’t blend the word correctly. This is a definite motivator!
My students practice reading CVC words by touching each letter, saying each sound and then sliding their finger along the arrow to blend the sounds together.
After reading the word, they unclip the clothespin to reveal the picture!
My students love this “game” and I can already see so much improvement in their reading!
Another fun way to store the cards is on a ring like Lauren from A Teachable Teacher!
Along with reading CVC words, we also are practicing reading beginning and ending blends, magic e words, vowel teams and r-controlled vowels!
All of these Read and Reveal cards are also available in my shop!
