CVC Word Family Ladder Printables: Short Vowel Sounds

CVC Words are some of the first words you start sounding out when you are learning to read. They are easy to decode and can be a lot of fun for kids. These CVC Word Family Ladder Printables help build a great foundation for learning to read some basic phonics words.

I first started using them in the BOB Books Rhyming Words Sets. My girls have loved them so it was time to create a few more things for them to use. These can be so much fun to use.

These are fun to use when working on making new words. If you know all the letter sounds this can be tons of fun. You can teach them the two sounds together and sound out the word.

I give them different letter tiles and the CVC Word Family Wall Cards on a ring when we are first working on words. This gives them words they are start with.

After they have got really got at making the words take the Wall Cards away and have them make their own words. You can talk about the difference between real words and non-sense words. After they make all the words have them run down the list and say all the words. Another challenge might be to say a sentence using each word or have them writing the word on a paper. We use the blank writing paper for our writing.
