Build strong foundational reading skills with this set of Short Vowel CVC Blending Flashcards designed to help young learners master the essential skill of blending sounds.
 
Perfect for kindergarten, first grade, and early intervention groups, these cards feature clear, easy to read CVC words organized by short vowel sound. They are ideal for small groups, centers, whole class warm ups, and one to one practice.
 
Teachers can use these cards to model blending, support guided reading lessons, or give students hands on opportunities to segment and blend. Each card encourages students to tap each sound, slide their finger to blend the word, and then read it smoothly. These cards are also perfect for quick fluency drills and building confidence in early readers.
