Phase 3 Phonics Lesson: CVCC Words
Support children as they transition into more complex word structures with this engaging Phase 3 phonics lesson focusing on CVCC words (consonant-vowel-consonant-consonant). This interactive presentation helps build confidence in segmenting and blending longer words, using previously taught Phase 3 graphemes. Aligned with the updated 2021 Letters and Sounds progression, this resource is ideal for moving children towards Phase 4 readiness.
This phonics PowerPoint introduces CVCC word reading and spelling through a structured approach. Pupils practise decoding, tricky word recognition, and sentence-level reading using words like ‘tent’, ‘jump’, ‘nest’ and ‘lamp’.
What’s included?
- Guided teaching of CVCC word structures
- Blending and segmenting activities using familiar graphemes
- Spelling practice with tricky words such as ‘said’, ‘have’ and ‘so’
- Sentence reading to build fluency and comprehension
- Interactive slides aligned with the 2021 Letters and Sounds progression
Teaching Tip
When introducing CVCC words, model how to break down the final two consonants clearly, helping children hear and identify each sound. Use physical actions or clapping to support segmentation.
This CVCC phonics lesson provides a helpful bridge between Phase 3 and Phase 4, supporting the development of early reading fluency through structured and accessible word-level practice.
