CVC words (consonant-vowel-consonant) are a crucial step in primary education because they teach children how to blend individual sounds to form simple words. These three-letter words, like “cat” or “dog,” help young learners understand the basic structure of words and improve their phonics skills. Mastering CVC words is key to building confidence in early readers and laying the foundation for more complex reading skills. They are an essential milestone in decoding and fluency, enabling students to read smoothly and accurately as they progress in their literacy development.
