CVCe Word Wheels

CVCe Word Wheels

A while back I made a blending activity which I called Word Wheels. This is a new edition to the word wheels series. This new edition focused on CVCe words. The concept of remains the same. Students look at the picture in the centre of the "wheel". They then blend the letters around the wheel to work out which direction the wheel turns. Students then have to draw a line to connect the letters to form the word. 


This activity is available from my TPT store.


As I mentioned in my post about CVC word Wheels, I tried using highlighters but it doesn't seem to work well on laminated paper, so I have put these cards onto a ring along with some whiteboard markers into a box and have used it as a guided reading activity.

Happpy teaching!

CVC Word Wheels

Look at what I just finish making! It's been a while since I have had the chance to sit down and make a resource. So I'm happy to share these. I'm calling these Word Wheels and hope *fingers crossed* that I will find the time make other sets. 

How this works: Students look at the picture in the centre of the "wheel". They then blend the letters around the wheel to work out which direction the wheel turns. The initial sound is always at the top of the wheel. Students then have to draw a line to connect the letters to form the word. 

I've tried using highlighters but it doesn't seem to work well on laminated paper, so I'm going to put these cards onto a ring along with some whiteboard markers into a box and use it as a guided reading activity.

I have made a set of 60 cards that cover all short vowel sounds. They can be found here:



If you would like to try these out in your classroom, I have posted 10 cards from the set of 60 here: 

Enjoy the last day of the term break!
