Decode regularly spelled one-syllable words. This Really Good Stuff product includes: 38 Four-Piece Puzzles 4 Puzzle Frames Storage Box This Really Good Stuff Teaching Guide The foundation of word study for beginning readers is teaching them to read and write consonant-vowelconsonant (CVC pattern) words. This basic unit is the building block of written English. It is upon this pattern that larger words are formed. And it is in this pattern that struggling and beginning students can begin to separate the discrete letter sounds and identify these sounds with the corresponding symbols. Separating these sounds into distinct letters is not easy, and many young students and beginning English learners need much repeated practice to master this. Managing CVC Puzzlers Using baggies, put all the puzzles for each vowel sound in their own baggie: all the a puzzles in one baggie, and so forth. When using a puzzle at a literacy center, be sure to demonstrate how to store the materials in the box and leave the center tidy when the activity is complete.

Show the students the picture of the cat. Ask them to tell you the sounds they hear: /c/, /a/, /t/. Stretch the sounds out so that the students hear Next, show the students the letters c, a, t (in random order). Ask them which letter represents the first sound in cat. Once they have identified the c, put it directly under the picture in the first position. Continue until the students have identified the remaining letters/sounds as you place them in the puzzle frame. When it is completed, flip the puzzle over to show the students the answer on the back. Next, display the student reproducible. Show the students how to complete the reproducible: each puzzle completed should be transferred to the reproducible by hand. Once you have modeled a few of the puzzles together, place the puzzles in a literacy center or on a table for a small group of students to complete.
