Done with CVC Words? Time to Add Another ‘C’! 

Once students have developed the letter-sound correspondence needed tomaster their CVC words, they’ll be ready to embark on a new challenge. Your little learners will literally one-up themselves by adding another consonant to make CCVC words! 

This interactive Google Slides resource has been designed to allow your students to practise the fundamental decoding skills by building consonant-consonant-vowel-consonant (CCVC) words. Students will click and drag letter tiles to build words based on a picture stimulus. After making each word, students practise spelling the word once again by typing the word. The resource contains 20 examples of CCVC words.

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding 

A team of dedicated, experienced educators created this resource to support your phonics program. It can be used in whole-class or small-group setting, or as an individual activity for more-capable, independent learners.

We suggest the following differentiation strategies to support the diverse needs of your learners:

🆘 Support Struggling Students

• Provide an anchor chart or sound wall to help students identify the graphs needed to spell each word.
• Encourage students to segment each word on a mini whiteboard or sheet of paper before building each word.

➕ Challenge Fast Finishers

• Encourage fast finishers to identify and spell other words that rhyme with those presented in the resource.
• Have students write sentences or stories using the images and words shown in the resource.

🧑‍ Group Learning

• Project the slides onto a screen and work through them as a class by having students record their answers in their notebooks or on mini whiteboards.
