Learning to read is an exciting time in
a child’s development. Kids need plenty of practice in segmenting
and reading CVC words. The more activities and opportunities we give them, the
more they are able to segment and join their letter sounds. These fun
pig themed CVC puzzles are a great set to add to your farm unit if
your kids are ready for some fun CVC activities!

To prepare
Preparing these puzzles are simple,
here’s what you’ll need:
- Activity puzzles (below)
Print and laminate as many sets as you need, and if
you’re using it for a class have a few sets ready for some
independent stations and groups.
CVC Pig Themed Puzzles
Depending on the
needs of your class, you may decide to work on two vowels at a time
or all five. The puzzles include the short vowel sounds (a, i, e, u, and o).
In the group I was working on some of
my kids weren’t ready to tackle the vowel sounds ‘u’ and ‘o’
and they are learning English as a second language so I only gave
them the a, i, and e short vowel sound puzzles.
First we placed the beginning letter
sounds in one basket, the short vowel sound and the ending sound in
two separate baskets. You can place them in little piles if you don’t
have baskets. The kids then began by choosing a beginning sound and a
middle sound then finally an ending sound. They would see if the word
makes sense once they sound it out and if it does they leave it on
the side and made another. I got them to read their words several
times before moving on to the next word. I watched them do this and
checked their words as they built them!
At the end, I got the kids to write
their CVC words in their books.
