Rainbow CVC Activity

Kindergarten students spend a lot of time learning to decode and read CVC words. CVC words are easy to decode, follow the basic phonetic rules, and are usually included in the child’s vocabulary.
Your students will use their knowledge of letters and sounds and word family patterns to practice sounding out consonant vowel consonant words, spelling CVC words, and handwriting.
The resource includes words like map, pen, lip, dog, and sun. There is a roll, build, write mat for each of the 5 short vowels. These mats are an interactive, hands-on way for students to practice CVC words.

Using the Rainbow CVC Mats
For this activity, students will roll a die and figure out the number they landed on. Then they find the CVC word picture that matches their die.
They will say the word out loud, find the letter for each sound they hear in the word, build the word with letter manipulatives in the rainbow’s mouth. Lastly, they will write the word at the bottom of the mat. Clear the mat and roll again.
There are 5 mats included, one for each short vowel. So students can practice a certain vowel sound, or they can work through all the mats.
For students ready for a challenge, have them say a sentence using that word. If they are working in partners, they can take turns telling each other.
You could even provide students with a recording sheet and have them write each word on that after they build it on the mat.
Differentiated CVC Word Activities
There are a variety of ways that these rainbow mats can be differentiated to teach CVCs words and meet the needs of your students.
Since there are five different mats, you can start by having your students complete only one mat. As their skills progress, they can work their way up to completing 2 mats and then more!
Another way to use this activity is to give students play dough and they can use stamps to stamp the word in the dough. An added sensory option is always a great way to engage reluctant learners. Plus, adding in fine motor work for all your little learners is great for their hand strength.
Students could use these matching mats with partners as well. They could take turns rolling the die to complete the mat. This helps them work cooperatively and allows them to encourage and coach each other along the way.
These rainbow CVC roll, build, write mats are a fun way for children to practice literacy and math skills!
