Steps for Learning CVC Words

(TESOL Worksheets--CVC words)

Basic Version: docs, pub

Expanded Version: docs, pub

Notes: In an effort to make my teaching of CVC words less scattershot and more systematic, I developed a framework for the steps that I would go through with a group of students.  I first developed the basic version, but some of my students needed extra practice, so I developed an expanded version which has a lot of extra steps.  Over time I'll be posting completed examples of this framework on this blog, and indexing them at the top of the post.

Below is the expanded version.
