Write CVC words you can read

Write simple consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) words that you can already read, spelling them correctly.

You can already read words like cat, dog, and sun. This week you write them, using the same sounds you use to read.

CVC means consonant, vowel, consonant: one sound, then another, then another, like c-a-t. Reading and writing use the very same sounds.

📋 For the teacher
Teach it (10–15 min):
  • Pick CVC words your child can already read confidently. Writing a known word builds real confidence.
  • Have your child say the word, then say each sound, then write each sound, in that order every time.
  • Keep a running list of CVC words your child can both read and write on their own.
  • If a word gives trouble, go back to stretching it slowly, like last week.
Talk about it:
  • Which CVC word did you write the fastest today?
  • Is writing a word harder or easier than reading it? Why?
  • Can you think of a CVC word we have not written yet?

Mastery looks like: They write several CVC words correctly and independently, using the same sounds they use when reading them.

Common stumbles: Leaving out the middle vowel sound; writing consonants in the wrong order; guessing instead of sounding the word out.
