28 CVC Emergent Readers and Activities Bundle

Literacy instruction is one of the most crucial components of teaching our youngest learners. We begin with letters and sounds, and once our students grasp those, we start blending and decoding words. We’ve created this CVC Emergent Readers and Activities Bundle so students can build their confidence and develop a love for reading. These simple, three-letter words provide a foundation for more complex reading and writing.

We spend months teaching and working with CVC, or consonant-vowel-consonant, words. We might teach our students about CVC words & word families at the same time, as that can help students recognize familiar sound patterns. 

We sprinkle in fun CVC word-building activities like this farm CVC activity and these spring CVC puzzles. Plus, we can practice working with CVC words during every season using turkeys, gold coins, hearts, pumpkins, and snowmen. 

Why do I love CVC and sight words emergent readers? They are an exciting way to get our early readers engaged and motivated. Beginning readers provide a sense of accomplishment for students as they decode words and understand the story.

My favorite resource to use throughout the year when teaching CVC and sight words is this CVC Emergent Readers and Activities Bundle. Not only does this bundle come with 28 short vowel emergent readers, but every reader comes with activities and teacher materials to make teaching a breeze. 

CVC Emergent Readers and Activities Bundle

This CVC word family emergent readers bundle is the perfect addition to your literacy instruction. These readers and activities can be used as small group work or in your reading groups. They could also be used during whole-group instruction or as a literacy center. 

Each reader highlights a different short vowel CVC word family, along with several sight words. Each emergent reader comes in color and black & white and also includes a “big book” teacher copy to use in your groups or on the board. 

In addition, this CVC reading bundle comes with several hands-on student activities that go along with the text. With pocket chart activities and different worksheet options, your students will be working with the CVC words & word families in multiple different formats.

Teacher “Big Book” Copy of the Emergent Readers

With colorful and adorable clipart, this teacher copy book can be saved and used every time you utilize the reader for instruction, or even stored in your classroom library for future reading.  Each word family has its own unique emergent reader with sight words and decodable word family words.

Student Copy of the Emergent Readers

A matching copy of the teacher version in a two-per-page format,  the student emergent reader is what will be printed and used with your students. This smaller reader is perfect for little hands to hold and read through. All you have to do is print, cut, and staple (Hint: a paper cutter is a huge time saver here!).

Pocket Chart Activities

Each of the CVC emergent readers also comes with pocket chart activities. With the best CVC word activities for kindergarten, students can practice building and reading the sentences from the specific word family reader. We suggest printing either the color or black and white version onto cardstock and laminating. 

Differentiated Worksheets

Students can practice reading and writing the sentences from the CVC emergent readers with these differentiated worksheets. With three different options, you can choose whether you want your students just to read the sentences, or write the sight words and/or short vowel CVC words as well.

Getting the CVC Emergent Readers and Activities Ready

These CVC word decodable reader books for kindergarten are packed full of engaging material.  We’ve made it super easy and simple to prep these activities. I like to organize and store my language arts materials this way for ease and future use.

What you’ll need to prep the readers and activities:

• Copy paper or Cardstock
• Laminator and Laminating Sheets
• Scissors or Paper Cutter
• Stapler

After purchasing your emergent readers pack, you can start printing and prepping. We suggest printing the teacher copy on cardstock and laminating so that it lasts you for years of small groups! 

Depending on how you are using the student readers, you can print the color or black & white options, or both! The black & white options are always great to send home with your students. 

When prepping the pocket chart materials, we recommend laminating the pieces to make them durable for lots of tiny hands! This way you can use them year after year.

The worksheets can be printed for your whole class or for each small group. I like to store a class set of each worksheet with each reader so that I have them ready to pull out and use at anytime.
