NWF - Alphabetic Principle
Decode CVC Words The purpose of this activity is to give the student an opportunity to practice decoding words with the consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) word pattern. You will show the student a word with the CVC pattern, and then give a consonant card to substitute in the final position to spell a new word. The student will read the original word, and the new word.Materials: Word pages and consonant cards (see the Downloads area)

We are going to practice reading words. I'm going to show you a word and ask you to read it out loud. After you read the word, I'll give you a letter. Place the letter over the last letter of the word to make a new word. Then read the new word out loud.
Watch me do one. On the page, I see the word "peg". I say "peg". Now I have this letter "t". I place the letter "t" in place of "g". I read the new word...

Show the first word strip and then demonstrate substituting the final consonant. |
Now let's try one together. Look at the word and read it out loud. Here's the new letter. What's the new word?
|
Show the next word strip and after the student reads the word, hand over the consonant card. |
Now it's your turn. Read this word.
Here's a new letter. What's the new word?
If Correct: Good. The words are "cat" and "cap".
If Incorrect: Let's look at it again. Read c-a-t. What letter is this? Where does this letter go? What's the new word?
|
Show the "cat" word strip. |
|
Give the student the "p" card. |
|
Assist if necessary. |
Let's try another one. Read the word. Here is the letter n. What's the new word?
If Correct: Good. The words are "pig" and "pin".
If Incorrect: Let's look at it again. Read the word. What letter is this? Where does this letter go? What's the new word?
|
Correct: pig, pin |

Discontinue if the student got both warm-ups incorrect. |
