Spider Web CVC Word Building Activity
Working with CVC words is key for building a strong reading foundation. Students will work hard to master their letter sounds, blend the sounds, and decode CVC words. Working with consonant vowel consonant words helps students build these beginning reading skills.
This digital spider web CVC word building activity gives students an interactive and engaging experience as they practice reading CVC words. They will begin to identify spelling patterns in short vowel words throughout this activity.
Since this activity is digital, students can use it in a variety of ways using both Seesaw and Google Slides. This activity would be perfect for learning at home, at school, in small groups, literacy centers, or independently.
In this spider web activity, students will look at the picture on the screen and determine what the word is. Then, they will sound out the word and drag the spider letters into the web in the correct order to spell the word.
This activity gives students great practice with phonemic awareness skills as they are sounding out each sound and blending them together to decode and read the word. As students work their way through the slides, they will even begin to pick up on rhyming words that they find in this activity.

Students love building whether that be with blocks or spider letters! They will enjoy matching the words to the pictures as they manipulate the letters to build CVC words.
They will use their phonemic awareness and problem-solving skills to determine which letter makes the beginning, middle, and ending sound. As they build the word, they will be blending sounds and decoding the final word. So many key literacy skills are involved in this fun, fall activity.
Not only does this activity help students practice reading CVC words, but it will familiarize them with word families, rhyming words, and short vowel sounds. The more they practice, the better their CVC word fluency will be!
