Here are the strategies to help teach young learners to read once they have mastered the alphabet, it is time to move to CVC words. Be sure to check out all of the phonics free printables and digital activities here.
1. Introduce the sounds of the letters.
Start by teaching your students the sounds of the letters of the alphabet. You can do this by using flashcards, singing songs, or playing games. Once your students know the sounds of the letters, you can start to teach them how to blend the sounds together to form words.
2. Use manipulatives to help students understand the concept of blending.
Manipulatives are objects that can be used to represent sounds or letters. For example, you can use blocks to represent the sounds of letters, or you can use magnetic letters to spell out words. Manipulatives can help students to visualize the sounds they are hearing and to understand how the sounds blend together to form words.
3. Use a lot of repetition.
Repetition is key when teaching CVC phonics. Students need to hear the same sounds and words over and over again in order to learn them. You can provide repetition by reading to your students, singing songs, and playing games.
4. Be patient.
Learning to read takes time. Some students will pick up CVC phonics quickly, while others will need more time and practice. Be patient with your students and encourage them to keep trying.
Here are some specific activities that you can use to teach CVC phonics to your grade 1 students:
Play "I Spy" with CVC words. This is a great way to help students learn to identify and sound out CVC words. To play, simply choose a CVC word and say, "I spy with my little eye something that begins with the sound /b/." The students then have to guess what the word is.
Sing CVC word songs. There are many great CVC word songs available online. Singing along to these songs can help students to learn the sounds of the letters and to blend the sounds together to form words.
Play CVC word bingo. This is a fun and engaging way to help students learn to read CVC words. To play, simply create bingo cards with CVC words on them. Then, call out CVC words and have the students mark the words on their cards. The first student to get five in a row wins.
Read CVC word books. There are many great CVC word books available that can help students practice reading CVC words. When reading these books, point to the words as you say them. This will help students to make the connection between the sounds of the letters and the written words.
Write CVC words. Writing CVC words can help students to reinforce the sounds of the letters and to learn how to spell CVC words. You can have students write CVC words on their own, or you can dictate them to them.
By following these tips and using these activities, you can help your grade 1 students learn to read and write CVC words with ease.
