Children are taught letter sounds in Reception. This involves thinking about what sound a word starts with, saying the sound out loud and then recognizing how that sound is represented by a letter. The aim is for children to be able to see a letter and then say the sound it represents out loud. This is called decoding. Once children start to learn their letter sounds in reception, then they can start to blend sounds to read words.

Here is a great list of CVC words from the measured mom.

Grab a dry erase marker and write out a CVC word.

Have the child sound out each individual sound as they drive the race car on the track.

Once they get to the last letter. Have them race to the finish blending the sounds together.
