CVC Word Builder Cards Free Download | Successive Blending with Green Yellow Red Coding

This CVC Word Builder Cards Free Download includes 136 word building cards designed to support successive blending of CVC words. Students practice blending by saying the first sound, then the first two sounds, and finally the entire word, building fluency through a clear, structured routine.

Each card follows a successive blending sequence:
• Say the first sound
• Say the first two sounds
• Blend and read the whole word

For example:
c
ca
cat

The cards use green, yellow, and red sound coding to visually support blending:
• Green = first sound
• Yellow = middle vowel sound
• Red = final sound

This color-coded system helps students clearly track sounds as they blend and reinforces sound-by-sound decoding. It is recommended that students blend the word back together in the final step to build accuracy and automaticity.

These cards can be used during whole-group phonics instruction, small groups, intervention, or as an independent center to strengthen CVC word reading fluency.

Ideas for use:
• Use during whole-group phonics modeling
• Add to small-group or intervention lessons
• Place in independent phonics centers
• Practice blending routines for fluency building
• Send home for additional CVC blending practice

What’s Included:
• 136 CVC successive blending word builder cards
