Phonics
Build decoding and phonics skills with this free set of 26 CVC books. Students write, draw, and map words while strengthening reading fluency and word recognition.
This 26 CVC Books Freebie is a complete set of printable, decodable books designed to strengthen foundational reading and writing skills. Each book targets a different CVC word family, allowing students to apply phonics knowledge, map sounds, and connect decoding to meaning.
Students will write, draw, and map words as they work through each book — building phonemic awareness, reinforcing letter-sound connections, and growing confidence as independent readers.
