CVC words and sight words stories for beginners (Science of Reading Aligned)

Designed specifically for teachers, this resource focuses on short, engaging stories that feature cvc, cvcc, ccvc and some sight words.

Each story is carefully crafted to boost reading confidence while reinforcing foundational phonics principles. By incorporating simple, repetitive language patterns, students can easily decode words, improving their fluency. The inclusion of high-frequency sight words further supports early literacy development, helping students transition from decoding to more fluent reading.

These stories are ideal for whole-class instruction, small group work, or independent reading practice. Teachers will appreciate the easy-to-follow structure, designed to help young readers connect sounds to letters and words while building their vocabulary.

Every story includes opportunities for discussion, making it perfect for reinforcing phonics lessons or preparing students for more complex reading challenges. Whether you’re teaching in a classroom, a homeschool environment, or in tutoring sessions, this resource will become an invaluable part of your literacy toolkit.

There are 20 stories, either focusing on cvc words, some diagraph sounds, some sight words and there are more difficult stories focusing on ccvc/cvcc words with more sight words included. Therefore you can choose a story depending on that specific child’s level and if they need to be challenged and pushed a little further each time.

Each story contains 3 stars to colour in a star each time they read. This helps to create fluency and memorising sounds and sight words.
