CVC Words (3-Letter Words)
Learn to read and spell simple 3-letter words using rhyming word families!
🧩 What are CVC Words?
CVC stands for Consonant – Vowel – Consonant. These are the simplest English words — just 3 letters long! The middle letter is always a vowel (A, E, I, O, or U).
CVC words are grouped into word families — words that rhyme because they share the same ending. For example, cat, bat, mat, hat all belong to the -at family!
💡 Why Word Families?
When kids learn one word family, they can read 5–6 words instantly! If you know “cat”, just change the first letter to read “bat”, “mat”, “hat”, “rat”, and “sat”. It’s like a superpower! 🦸
