What is CVC?

CVC is like having three friends who take turns being the leader in a game.

Imagine you're playing a game where each friend says one word to make a full sentence. The first friend says "Cat", the second says "at", and the third says "s", together, they say "Cats". That's how CVC works: it uses three letters, one vowel in the middle, with a consonant before it and another consonant after it.

Think of a building block. The first letter is like a brick that starts the word, the second letter is like a window that lets you see the sound clearly, and the third letter is like another brick that finishes the word. So in "dog", "d" is the start, "o" is the clear middle sound, and "g" helps finish it off.

Learning CVC words helps you read faster because you can break down bigger words into smaller parts, just like breaking a big puzzle into tiny pieces that are easier to solve!
