CCVC Words List

Our Phonics CCVC word list helps children practise blending words that begin with consonant clusters — like frog, stop and black. These words introduce adjacent consonants at the start, strengthening decoding skills and helping reading sound smoother and more natural.

It’s especially useful for:

• Practising initial blends such as bl-, cl-, dr-, fl-, gr- and st-
• Improving fluency with longer decodable words
• Reducing hesitation when blending tricky clusters
• Supporting spelling through careful sound segmentation

Encourage your child to glide the first two sounds together rather than separating them too sharply. A few focused minutes a day builds confidence surprisingly quickly.

Available in both colour and black and white versions.
