We played a game called letter detective where I hide CVC words and my child has to find them, spell them correctly, and pronounce the sounds before the case is closed.

English Language Arts

• The child has learned to identify CVC words during the game.
• They have practiced spelling CVC words correctly.
• The child has improved their pronunciation of CVC word sounds.
• They have developed their phonics skills by recognizing the letter-sound correspondences in CVC words.

For continued development, you can introduce more challenging CVC words or even move on to words with blends or digraphs. You can also incorporate writing activities where the child creates sentences using the CVC words they find during the game. Additionally, consider adding a timer to the game to encourage faster word recognition and spelling.
