Shark Fin CVC Words Break the Code
CVC words are the start of learning phonics for kids. And it can be hard to work on them. But we can be creative in how we teach them to kids!
Today I have a fun free shark fin decoding CVC words that are great for kids to work on CVC words that end in n.
You will have fun with letter sounds and matching pictures and letters to the sounds.
This print is part of our fun Shark Week.
This is a great addition to our ocean printables on the site.
What is a CVC Word?
A CVC word is a consonant vowel consonant word. They are words like fin, hen, and can. Most CVC words are easy to sound out. You can find examples of CVC words on the CVC Word Family Wall Cards.
They are some of the basic beginning phonics that kids learn.
I love that these cards work on CVC words in a fun way for kids. You get to work on letters sound and sounding them out. You can find the matching letter for the sound. Then sound out the word. Then you get to match the picture to the word!
All great ways to work on words!
You have several word cards to learn with. They all end with n. So you have a similar ending sound. They have -an, -en, -in, and -un words. There are three word cards for each CVC ending.
You can see what the cards look like right here. They have a space for the letters below the pictures and a space for matching the picture to the card. The set has matching letters for each CVC card.
There are several share fins. These have the matching pictures to the words. There are shark fins for each CVC n ending.
There is a decoding page that can help with the letter sounds. It shows the pictures of the vowels up top and the rest of the letters in order below. You can see the uppercase and lowercase of the letters.
