New readers need lots and lots of practice sounding out those cvc words. You know words like bat, dog, fix, and get. But, using flashcards and word lists to practice can be boring. Enter cvc word games. It’s a win-win. The kids get to have fun and practice sounding out words at the same time.
Here are 3 fun game boards to print and play. Best of all, they are a FREE thank you gift to all my newsletter subscribers .
