How to use it

  1. Pick the pattern you are teaching. Every word on the sheet comes from that pattern or one taught before it, so children can sound out all of it.
  2. Pick a kind of sheet, or the whole pack for a week of centers.
  3. Tick Versions A and B for two orders, and keep the answer key.
  4. Press Print. New words deals a fresh set from the same pattern.

Ideas for class

  • Use the picture sheet as a first check: a child who circles the right word is blending.
  • Cut-out letters make a good small-group center; keep the tiles in an envelope for the next day.
  • Word ladders work well on a whiteboard first, then on paper.
  • Send the read-the-sentence sheet home: every word in it is one the child has been taught.

Questions

What are CVC words?

Consonant-vowel-consonant words like cat, pen and sun: three sounds a beginning reader can blend. They are the first five patterns here, one short vowel each.

Where do the words come from?

From Peabody’s decodable word lists, written for the site in teaching order. Pictures are used only for words with one clear picture, and the key names each one.
