These easy to prep Crack The Code CVC Word Cards are a perfect option for implementing some SoR practice helping develop phonemic awareness skills in kindergarten and first grade.
This Science of Reading (SoR) aligned resource allows children to practice connecting speech sounds (phonemes) to letters.

Each card is numbered making it easy for them to record their word and, even independently, check their work using the answer sheet. You will also be able to check their progress in blending individual sounds together for reading.

With over 300 different words included, this easy to prep Build a Word pack allows students practice their phonics skills when spelling new words. Students can work independently to sound out the pictured word and build the word on the mats with letters/tiles. They can then record their work on the included sheets.
This approach to word work gives students an opportunity to use the oral language processing part of their brain to map, or connect, the sounds (phonemes) of the word to the letters or letter combinations (graphemes) in a word. Using this process, children can then work to physically connect or match the letters with the sounds they represent and helps to encourage the process of orthographic mapping when choosing the correct magnetic letter or letter tile to build the word.
This practice helps build word recognition and decoding skills that improve fluency in both reading and writing making this Build A Word Pack a great addition to literacy centers, morning tubs, Daily 5 etc.
These Build A Word Mats focus on spelling CVC, CCVC, CVCC and CVCe words. Each mat has five different pictures for your children to attempt spelling the word to match.
Easy to prep, just print out the mats you want:
