CVC Builders Activity Cards

Set of 48 CVC cards with picture and colour guides for building 3 letter CVC words with CVC Tri-Blocks Tub. Children follow the progression as they learn to sound out and build words. There are 3 levels to follow: blue, orange, violet. Teach children phonemic awareness, synthetic phonics and spelling. Cards are self-checking with answers on back. The CVC Tri-Blocks Tub sold separately.

These CVC Builders Activity Cards provide an engaging and structured approach to early phonics and word building. Each card features vibrant imagery and phoneme colour-coding, helping children connect sounds to letters and visualise how words are constructed. The three difficulty levels offer a progressive learning journey that supports differentiation and targeted instruction. Learners can place Tri-Blocks directly onto the cards to build the words, reinforcing hands-on, kinaesthetic learning. The reverse side of each card presents the complete word and an image for self-assessment, encouraging independent learning and boosting confidence. Ideal for developing decoding and encoding skills, these cards lay the foundation for future reading and spelling fluency. Whether used in literacy centres, individual support sessions, or phonics interventions, this resource complements synthetic phonics programs and promotes mastery of the consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) pattern.
