CVC Words Kit

Build CVC words with Tri-Blocks! Tri-blocks slide together to make words - make new words by turning the middle block to choose a new vowel sound or by turning the beginning or end block to choose a new consonant. Tri-blocks are colour-coded: beginning consonants are dark blue, short vowels are red and final consonants are light blue. A set which includes the CVC Tri-Blocks Tub and the CVC Builders Activity Cards. Suitable for children ages 5-8 years. The CVC Words Kit is a complete resource for introducing and reinforcing consonant-vowel-consonant word structures. By combining the hands-on Tri-Blocks with the scaffolded support of the CVC Builders Activity Cards, children can engage in guided and independent phonics practice. The included cards feature picture cues, phoneme colour-coding and self-checking options, which support various stages of learning. This kit encourages phonemic manipulation, decoding and spelling in an enjoyable, tactile way. With three levels of difficulty provided in the cards, educators can differentiate instruction to match student ability. It's an ideal resource for both classroom instruction and individual literacy intervention sessions. The combination of visual, auditory and kinaesthetic inputs ensures a multi-sensory experience that supports retention and engagement in early literacy learning.
