What is the CVC -it Words Resource?
The CVC -it Words resource includes 8 simple Consonant-Vowel-Consonant (CVC) words, all ending with the vowel-consonant combination "it." The words in this set are:

Each word is printed on a rectangle, making it easy to cut out and use in different activities around the classroom or home. The simple design ensures that students focus on the word itself, enhancing their reading and blending skills.
Ideas for Using the CVC -it Words Resource
This resource is versatile and can be used in multiple ways, helping students to reinforce their understanding of CVC words while having fun! Here are some classroom and home ideas:
-
Classroom Display: Create a phonics wall in your classroom where you display these CVC -it words. As students learn new word families, they can see the words in context. It also serves as a visual reference during reading lessons or phonics activities.
-
Flashcard Practice: Use the printable word cards for flashcard-style activities. Hold up a word and have students sound it out or use it in a sentence. This is a great way to practice blending sounds and improving fluency.
-
CVC Word Match: Mix the -it words with other word families and challenge students to sort the words into the correct categories. This sorting game strengthens their phonological awareness by helping them identify patterns in word construction.
-
Memory Game: Print two sets of the words and use them to create a memory game. Lay the cards face down, and students take turns flipping them over to find matching pairs. This activity reinforces word recognition and memory skills.
-
Build a Sentence: Once students are familiar with the CVC -it words, encourage them to build simple sentences using these words. For example, “I can hit,” or “The cat can sit.” This helps students transition from reading individual words to forming sentences, improving comprehension and grammar skills.
-
Individual Reading Practice: Give each student their own set of CVC -it word cards. During independent reading time, they can practice sounding out and blending these words. You can also ask students to record themselves reading the words aloud for self-assessment or sharing with a teacher or parent.
-
Phonics Center Activity: In a classroom with phonics centers, these word cards make an excellent addition. Students can practice sorting, reading, and building new words with these cards as part of a hands-on learning station.
Why Use CVC Word Cards?
Learning CVC words is a crucial step in early reading. These simple, three-letter words help students understand the concept of blending sounds to form words. The CVC -it Words resource allows for focused practice on one word family, helping students gain confidence in their reading abilities while introducing them to new vocabulary.
Key Benefits:
-
Targeted practice with the “-it” word family
-
Flexible uses for both group activities and individual practice
-
Printable and reusable for different classroom and home environments
