I like to always have a CvC center included each week--especially at the beginning of the year. I created some CvC flash cards to use for centers as well as instruction. Below are some ideas for how to use these in your room!
Magna Doodle Practice-Put out a stack {or all} of the cards with some magna doodles and let kids practice writing the words! This has been a fun center in my room! I have large and small magna doodles. I like to use the large for this because I ask the students to write each word 4 times. To check out magna doodles online, click HERE.
Races-I do these in guided reading a lot. Hold up a card, and the first person to correctly decode it gets to keep it! Winner has the most cards at the end! The kids get obsessed with this game! Great practice!
Spin-a-Vowel-Put a stack of the cards out, face up. Students take turns spinning a vowel spinner and selecting a card that matches the vowel they spun. They must read the word and make up a sentence with it. They can keep the card if they stretch it correctly. To snag a spinner, just click HERE.
"Secret Password"-Put the cards on a ring and ask each child to read one of the words as they enter the classroom in the morning. I like to flip to a new word for each child so they aren't just copying what the child in front of them said.
These are just a few ways I use my cards. I also have sight word and silent e flashcards. How would you use them? To snag these cards, click below! There are 66 pages included, with 4 words to a page!
