Click a beginning sound, a vowel, and an ending sound to build a word. See the letters snap together!
A CVC word follows the pattern Consonant-Vowel-Consonant. Examples: cat, dog, sit, run, hop. These are the first words children learn to decode because the vowel makes its short sound.
Words that share a vowel-consonant ending (like -at: cat, bat, hat, mat) are called a word family or rime. Learning one rime pattern lets children instantly read many words!
