There are 95 CVC words in total. On each card the CVC word is printed on the left side while a full colour, corresponding picture is printed on the right hand side of the card. CVC words are an exciting step forward for emergent readers. Once students have been introduced to basic phonics, they are ready to move on to these words. They consist of a Consonant, a Vowel and then another consonant and motivate students to continue practising their reading skills.
