CVC Phoneme Segmentation Cards

Build confident early readers with these CVC Phoneme Segmentation Cards and coordinating worksheets. This Science of Reading–aligned pack gives children hands-on practice isolating, segmenting, and spelling CVC words using picture cards with sound boxes and print-and-go pages. Use in literacy centers, small groups, morning work, or independent practice.

✨ What’s Included in the CVC Phoneme Segmentation Cards packet

• 186 CVC Phoneme Segmentation Cards (picture cards with three sound boxes; organized by beginning consonant)
• 16 Consonant Worksheets (arranged by beginning consonant sounds)
• 10 Vowel Worksheets (arranged by short middle vowel sounds)
• 10 Mixed Worksheets (mixed beginnings and middle vowels for review)
• 1 Blank Recording Page (use with cards, dictation, or extra practice)

🛠️ How to Use

• Use the Consonant, Vowel, and Mixed worksheets for independent practice, morning work, homework, or review.
• Pair the cards with the blank recording page—children build the word, write one sound in each box, and draw a picture.
• Swap pencils for alphabet stamps or laminate the blank page for reusable dry-erase practice.
• Try partner practice: one child reads a card aloud while the other writes the word.
• Use for teacher dictation: say a word and students record it on the page.
• Extend learning by sorting cards (by vowel, rhyme, or beginning sound) or creating CVC mini-books with the blank pages.

🎯 Skills Covered with the CVC Phoneme Segmentation Cards

• Phoneme segmentation and sound–letter mapping
• Beginning consonant and short vowel recognition
• Blending and decoding CVC words
• Spelling and handwriting practice
• Vocabulary through picture–word connections
• Fine motor skills with writing, stamping, and manipulatives

🔬 Science of Reading Connection

Activities emphasize explicit and systematic phonics: children identify and segment phonemes, map sounds to letters, build and read decodable words, and reinforce learning through multisensory practice (saying, writing, stamping, drawing).
