A collection of hands-on cvc phonics activities to play with beginning readers.

C…A…T, B…U…G…..My oldest son is in the midst of learning to decode cvc words.  Beginning readers need lots of practice building phonics skills.  But, it can get pretty tedious blending words on flashcards or worksheets.  So, today I have a collection of hands-on and playful activities to try.

Pick a few to try.  Many of them allow you to customize the words.
