CVCe Pop to Spell Cards – Free Silent E Phonics Practice with Fidget Poppers
Guided Phonics + Beyond
Free CVCe Pop to Spell cards. Students say the picture name, pop the sounds, and write the matching silent e word.
These CVCe Pop to Spell cards make phonics practice interactive and multisensory. Students look at the picture, say the word, pop each sound on a fidget popper, and then write the full word on the card. This hands-on approach helps strengthen phoneme-grapheme mapping, decoding, and spelling while aligning with the science of reading.
Example word: tape → say it → pop /t/ (green), /ā/ (yellow), /p/ (red), and silent e (orange) → write tape
Combines oral language, kinesthetic movement, and written practice
Great for small-groups, literacy centers, or independent practice
Supports orthographic mapping of vowel-consonant-e words
Flexible: use with pop fidget blocks, mats, or other tactile tools
By blending sound, movement, and writing, these cards help students connect phonics practice to memory and mastery.
