Welcome to CVC At Home!

What is a CVC Word?

CVC stands for Consonant – Vowel – Consonant

Like c–a–t 🐱 and s-u-n 🌞

CVC words are how we first teach our beginner readers to read 📖, write ✍ and spell… but first we need to make sure they understand all their letter sounds.

And we need to make sure they are learning letter sounds (phonics) correctly;

• like i for ink (letter sound)
• not i for ice 🧊 (letter name like when we sing the alphabet song, and long vowel sound which we teach much later)

I know this is confusing! 🤪 And I’ve found it very difficult to get my head around in the past, especially when you start adding in digraphs and tricky spellings!

This is why I’ve designed our CVC packs, broken into 9 stages to help teachers, parents, speechies and tutors with quick and easy reference guides and activities to recognise and compare different letter sounds and spellings.

Our Stage 1 – 9 packs are designed to clearly outline different groups of letters and sounds that make up the building blocks of our Aussie English language:

• Stage 1 – Letter Sounds & CVC words
• Stage 2 – CVC Words with Beginner Consonant Digraphs
• Stage 3 – Consonant Consonant (Blends) at the Start of CCVC Words
• Stage 4 – Consonant Consonant (Blends) at the End of CVCC Words
• Stage 5 – CCVCC Words
• Stage 6 – Short Vowel Digraphs & Sounds
• Stage 7 – Long Vowel Digraphs & Sounds
• Stage 8 – R Controlled Vowel Digraphs & Sounds
• Stage 9 – Tricky Consonant & Alternative Spellings

Our CVC spelling packs make learning to read, write and spell fun and engaging and can be used in the classroom, for homeschooling or as spelling homework printables.

They are designed to help you better understand how our language is constructed and to teach tricky spelling concepts. 

Activities are repetitive and progressive, encouraging children to

• ✅ Sound it out (segment)
