Now that your child has learned to recognise and sound the letters, the next step towards learning to read is blending Consonant Vowel Consonant (CVC) words. Here's an activity that can help do that!
USING THE CARD GAMES
These CVC Game Cards consist of 23 short vowel word pairs + 1 old maid card: /a/: hat, sat, jam, ham/e/: hen, den, web, net, nest/i/: bit, hit, pig, wig, rip/o/: hop, pop, frog, fox/u/: mug, rug, bun, bus, hugYou can print out the cards on thicker paper, cut them out. Alternatively, you can laminate the cards to make them last longer.
Another benefit to printing on thicker paper is that the image will not be seen on the reverse side when the card is faced downward.I also like using these foam sheets as backing for the playing cards so that it is easier for the children to turn the cards over when playing them on the table.
HOW TO PLAY MEMORY GAME
The object of the game is to collect the most number of matching pairs. Lay the cards in a grid layout. Pick a player to go first then play proceeds clockwise. On your turn flip over 2 cards on the table so that everyone can see them. If the cards are the same, you get to keep them. Then you get another turn until you flip 2 cards that do not match. Flip the cards that do not match face down in the same position. Then the next player goes. Continue until all the card pairs have been claimed. The player with the most pairs wins. *Get each child to read the words on the cards when they flip them over. HOW TO PLAY OLD MAID
For 2-4 players. The object of the game is to not be the person holding onto the Old Maid card. Have 1 person deal the cards evenly to all players. Players look at their own cards but keep them hidden from others. Players sort through their cards making as many pairs as possible. Players place the pairs face up in front of them on the table. The card dealer plays first. Play proceeds clockwise. On your turn fan out your cards facing down. The person to your left picks one of your cards and make any pairs in their hand. They then discard any pairs in front of them on the table. Once it is impossible to make any pairs the person with the old maid card loses. *Get each child to read the words on the cards in front of them.
