What’s a CVC Word?

CVC stands for Consonant Vowel Consonant, which means a three letter word following this pattern. For example, the word “cat” is a CVC word: “c” (consonant) + “a” (short vowel) + “t” (consonant). These words are perfect for early readers because they can be easily decoded. When children read CVC words, it helps reinforce their understanding of consonant and short vowel sounds.

Why Are CVC Words Important?

CVC words allow children to transition from phonemic awareness (recognizing individual sounds) to phonics (connecting sounds to letters). Research shows that practicing decoding skills on simple words like CVC words is beneficial. Children begin to understand that letters combine to form words, and this skill sets them on the path to independent reading.
