CCVC Word Cards

Our CCVC word cards focus on four-letter words with consonant blends at the beginning — like frog, stop and black. These words help children practise blending two consonants smoothly before moving on to the vowel sound.

These cards are especially useful for:

• Practising initial blends like bl-, cl-, dr-, fl-, gr-, and st-
• Building confidence with longer decodable words
• Improving fluency and reducing “sound-by-sound” hesitation
• Strengthening spelling alongside reading

Encourage your child not to separate the first two sounds too sharply — they need to glide together. A quick tap-and-blend approach works brilliantly. Keep sessions short, positive, and celebrate the wins when those blends start to flow.

Available in both colour and black and white versions.
