Winter CVC Printable Reading Game for Kids

CVC words are simple three-letter words that follow the pattern (consonant, vowel, consonant). Each word begins and ends with a consonant and has a short vowel in the middle.

CVC Word Game

CVC words are often the first words that children learn to read. These words help children understand letter-sound connections, short vowel sounds, and how to blend sounds into words. These skills are foundational for reading longer words later. 

Today I have a new free printable CVC word game for you to use with your students. This game has a winter theme. The game is fun for students and will help them learn to read words on their own and grow their mastery of simple words which will help grow their confidence in their reading skills.

Learning CVC words is part of the foundation of a structured literacy program.

This fun game has 33 CVC words, is easy to use, and will fit in with your curriculum in the primary grades. 

This printable game is one page and can be downloaded with your printer!  Just Print and Go!

The kids will need 1 or 2 dice or a spinner to play the game. The kids will take turns reading the words. The directions are located at the top of the game.

Using Venn Diagrams with Young Students

 Do you use Venn Diagrams with your students?

Venn Diagrams are a type of graphic organizer that students can use to compare, contrast, sort, and classify. They are especially useful to use with reading comprehension, math reasoning and scientific observation.

Venn Diagram

Venn diagrams help students turn abstract ideas into concrete visual structure. 

They support language development. They help students describe attributes and use comparative language (both, only, neither).

They are helpful in math (shapes, numbers, patterns, etc.) literacy (characters, settings, vocabulary, etc.), science (animals, materials, weather. etc.) social studies (communities, traditions, etc.)

A good way to introduce Venn Diagrams to very young students is to use real tangible objects (buttons, blocks, leaves, pencils, classroom supplies).

Next, students can draw pictures.

Start with simple categories (things that roll vs. things that stack).

Venn Diagram

Next, students can use written diagrams (fiction vs. nonfiction), (animals that fly vs. animals that swim), (animals that live on land vs animals that live in water).

After students have completed written diagrams, let them write sentences about what they learned. Let them read and share their sentences with a partner.

The more frequently students use Venn Diagrams in class, the more independently students will use them to organize their thinking.

I have some free Venn Diagrams on my website that you can download to use with your students.
