Homeschooling First CVC Words – Reading, Tracing & Writing

Being a book’s fan myself, I almost bought & collected all sorts of Alphabets books for my little one. Almost since his first Birthday, I had a huge collection of Alphabet Books;
-Big Book of Alphabets,
-Books for Tracing,
-Alphabet Pocket books,
-Alphabets Fridge Magnets,
-Alphabet Shape Sorters,
-Write & Wipe Cards with Initial Sound Objects and
-100s and 1000s or Printables from TeachersPayTeachers or
-from Homeschooling Kits.
And you will agree that almost 50% of these come with Practicing tracing or Writing in them, right!

But the most depressing thing with me was, even though my son seemed smarter enough but he never showed any interest in writing practice or tracing. And being a homeschooling mom, my worries were at peak, until I found this amazing challenging task for my little one.

He one day, on his own, somehow started writing letters on our whiteboard with a marker. Then taking that a cue, I started teaching him on the board itself. But later he started getting distracted on the board too easily, and would start drawing or just scribbling on the board.

And then one sudden day, I made him a few boxes with my marker on the board and asked him to write the letters of his name in the boxes drawn, one by one. He, to my surprise, found this task challenging and he liked it very much. And form then on, now whenever I ask him to write, I draw such boxes (sometimes dots for tracing alphabets too) and I just ask him to go ahead and fit the letters and words and practice writing this way.

So, not only now he is practicing he is also learning to pronounce them.

So, here are my amazing Printables of the first CVC words which I made for my kids to practice their Writing and Reading skills along with the image of the object they are reading or writing. You can teach them how to pronounce the sounds also while they learn and notice each Alphabet in the word.

The family of CVC words are

  • _ab Words
    cab, dab, gab, jab, lab, nab, tab
  • _at Words
    bat, cat, eat, fat, hat, mat, pat, rat, sat
  • _ug Words
    bug, dug, jug, hug, mug, pug, rug, tug
  • _un Words
    bun, fun, gun, nun, run, sun

All the words set to practice are available in both Upper Case as well as Lower Case English Aphabets. You will get more families of words very soon. So, be in touch.
