CVCE Drive the Sound Fluency Cards – Free Phonics Blending Practice
Guided Phonics + Beyond
Free Drive the Sound fluency cards. Students blend CVCE words by “driving” each sound and then writing the word.
These CVCE Drive the Sound fluency cards make phonics practice interactive and fun. Students place a toy car or other manipulative on the “road,” drive over each sound as they blend, and then read the word. For added practice, they can write the completed word on the road space, reinforcing decoding with spelling. This activity is science of reading-aligned and perfect for small-groups, centers, or independent review.
