Blend sounds to read CVC words

Today we will learn how to blend sounds to read cvc words. Reading and writing help us share our ideas with others.

CVC words are words with a consonant-vowel-consonant pattern, like "cat," "pen," and "dog." When you see letters like C-A-T, you blend the sounds together: /k/ + /a/ + /t/ = "cat"! Word families are groups of words that rhyme and have the same ending, like -at (cat, hat, mat, sat) or -ig (big, dig, pig, wig). Learning word families makes it easier to read many words once you know one!

Let's break this down step by step so it's easy to understand. Follow along with the examples, and don't worry if it takes some practice to get the hang of it!

Remember: Making mistakes is part of learning. If something is tricky, try again, look at the examples, or ask for help.
