Hands-On Learning With CVCC Word Family Puzzles: Short A

Puzzles have been a favorite at our house for ages! We are always using them for something. We have loved the CVC puzzles and how we have the CVCC puzzles.

I love how puzzles are a word building activity for kids. They make spelling a hands-on activity for them. I use these a lot with the CVCC Word family Cards.

Today we are starting with some of the CVCC word family short “a” puzzles.

Each puzzle has four letters from the words and picture that matches the word. These are easy to use three piece puzzles. I recommend laminating them if you are going to use the often. This will make the puzzles last longer.

They are meant to be great for some easy hands-on learning of the words. I like to mix up how we use them, but often we just work on one word family ending at a time. We started with all the “-all” words and then did others.

After we had done the puzzles, I often have them do an activity with matching the lowercase lacing letters to the puzzle. You can place the letters right below the words. I like that the lowercase lacing letterss match up to the lowercase letters on the puzzle.

Things you will find in the CVCC Word Family Puzzles Selling Set

In the selling version, you get all 40 puzzles and some extras that you can use with the puzzles. I am going to show you a few of those extras that you can get.

There is a building mat that is great for learning centers. This allows you to build and write the words. There are two types of mats to use. They come in black & white, blue, red, green and purple color. The black and white versions will allow you to print on any color of cardstock you might like to use.

The first mat just has the four section up top for you to build the puzzles with the letters attached.

The second version allows you to cut the letters off and use them to build the word and the picture separately.

The last extra is a writing page. This will allow the kids to write out the words that they build. There are 8 different spaces they can use to fill in.

What you will find in these printables:

• 5 pages of printables
• 7 different puzzles with the endings: ack, all, amp, and, ant.
