If you're looking for a fun, hands-on way to practice CVC words, your students will love these Roll and Read, Write, or Spell CVC Board Games. This engaging literacy activity is designed to build early phonics skills through play while giving teachers easy built-in differentiation.
The game includes three differentiated levels so you can meet students exactly where they are and gradually increase difficulty as confidence grows. With a total of 108 CVC word cards featuring short vowels A, E, I, O, and U, students get repeated, meaningful exposure to foundational decoding and spelling skills.
Differentiated CVC Practice
Each set of cards targets a different literacy skill, making this resource ideal for mixed-ability classrooms, small groups, and intervention.
- Spell It – Students choose the missing vowel to complete the CVC word
- Read It – Students read the CVC word with no picture support
- Write It – Students look at the picture and write the correct CVC word on the recording sheet
What’s Included

How the Game Works
