How to Teach Kids to Read and Write

How to teach kids to read and write when there are so many different approaches and strategies? Let’s narrow it down and bring it back to inital sounds and segmenting and blending cvc words.

CVC Words with Pictures are not only fun, but an effective and powerful way to help kids learn how to read.This builds strong foundational skills where students apply their phonemic knowledge and apply it to decoding simple three-letter words with a consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) pattern – eg. d-o-g, c-a-t, p-e-g and pair them with engaging pictures that represent each word.

By matching the words to the correct images, children strengthen their phonemic awareness, learn to sound out words and develop those fundamental early decoding skills. The visual supports and hands on aspect of learning creates an engaging learning experience that motivates young children. What’s more, it feels like a game more than a learning process!
