CVC Words Phonics Activity Bundle

Do you need a fun, hands-on activity for teaching children to read CVC words? With this resource your pupils search for and blend the initial, medial and final sounds in words using the magical ‘show me’ window! The show me charts focus on the short vowel sounds and are perfect for different levels of ability.

This activity can be used for a whole-class introduction, as a guided group activity or in your literacy area. Just print and laminate. To make the Show Me windows, laminate and cut around the frame, cut out the rectangular box in the middle and then place over a chart to search for words! Alternatively, you could use the black and white versions of the charts as ‘wordsearch’ printables.
