Which Word Is It Clip Cards

These CVC clip cards are so much fun to use and benefit your kindergarten or first-grade students during Science of Reading instruction.

If your students know the letter sounds very well, moving on to phonics instruction with CVC words is a great idea. CVC words are easy to sound out and help build confidence in beginning readers!

CVC words are simple words that follow a consonant-vowel-consonant word pattern. They all feature a short vowel sound, making them perfect for students beginning to segment phonemes and encode words.

Students will identify the picture at the top of their card. Then, they will use clothespin clips to select the correct word. There are two words displayed on the card. Students must decide which middle sound is correct to complete the word.

This continues until they have clipped all the words on their cards.

Students will need to read carefully to notice the difference between each word and clip the correct choice to match the picture. This is perfect for students who need a bit more of a challenge.

I love this phonics activity because it gives students a hands-on way to practice phonemic awareness and phonics skills. This would be an excellent resource for small group instruction or use during centers.

Differentiating the Which Middle Sound Clip Cards

Students will apply their knowledge of letters and sounds to decide which middle sound belongs on each card.

Students will look at the pictures and say the name of the word pictured. Then, they will clip the correct word to complete the card. They will need to pay close attention to blending and segmenting the sounds in each word, so they can make the correct choice.

If you want to challenge the students, provide them with letter tiles or magnets. Ask them to build or write the correct word for extra practice.
