FREE Digraph Activity - CVC Words - Pull the Flaps

This digraph activity is super fun and hands on.

It’s a brilliant way to get started with CVC words.

CVC words are simple, three-letter words with a consonant-vowel-consonant pattern, such as “cat,” “dog,” and “sit.” These words are an excellent starting point for young children to learn to read.

This activity is my go to when teaching difficult digraphs. I feel like it’s a must for every homeschool!

I’ve used this with most of my children and can honestly see it’s had such a huge impact on their reading. 

Sometimes children need something a little more hands on.

So get them to colour in the worksheets and cut them out themselves (if they are able to). 

When they feel more involved in the process they are more likely to keep a high level of enthusiasm towards said activity.

Because this activity isn’t set as “work” and is just a fun craft, it’s often not as intimidating and they’re much more likely to remember what they’ve learnt.

This activity can be adapted in so many ways and it makes learning a fun and memorable experience.

If your child struggles to grasp a certain letter pattern e.g. “igh” you could use this method and I can almost guarantee they will pick it up so quickly.

It’s a tried and tested method which most of my children have used to aid their reading journeys with great success.

You can skip the printing and just make your own.

(However we have made it as printer friendly as possibly, meaning we haven’t filled any large spaces with colour – plus that way your kid has more to colour! Win!

Remember that patience and consistency are key when teaching CVC words to children. Each child learns at their own pace, so be supportive and celebrate their progress.
