Reading CVC Words is Sweet! Valentine’s Day Printables

Current research indicates that hands-on activities such as writing with letter tiles, playing word games, or building words with blocks can help students connect the letters and the words they represent. That’s why we’ve put together a fun Valentine’s Day-themed CVC Word activity for our youngest readers.

This Valentine’s Day Spelling and Literacy Center has been designed to help your students identify objects by picture, spell CVC words, and read them aloud. It contains 20 task cards that require students to unscramble the letters in a given CVC word and write the word on their recording sheet.

Through this activity, your students will improve their ability to decode and spell words with CVC spelling patterns.

A team of dedicated, experienced educators created this resource to support your English Language Arts program. It can be used for small groups, whole-class learning, or independent practice.

If you have a mixture of above and below-level learners, check out these suggestions for keeping students on track with the concepts:

• 🆘 Support Struggling Students

Simplify the task for students who may be overwhelmed by the number of cards contained in the activity. Provide these students with a smaller number of cards to sort, for example, one or two words for each syllable type. 

• ➕ Challenge Fast Finishers

Encourage fast finishers to use letter tiles to make new words that follow the CVC spelling pattern.
