The CVC Word Builders Pack is a fantastic resource to help young learners build CVC words using colorful illustrations as a reference.

The pack includes 56 words with grey letters for matching, and 56 blank word strips. Children will need support to carefully think about the sounds they hear in each word while looking for the graphemes to create the word.

The word strips support phonological awareness, pronunciation, and grapheme recognition, making them perfect for therapy sessions, classroom use, or at home.
