VC words are simple, two-letter words made up of a vowel followed by a consonant, such as "at," "in," or "up." These words are beneficial for early readers because they introduce basic phonics skills, helping students recognize and blend vowel and consonant sounds. Mastering VC words builds a strong foundation for decoding more complex words, improves reading fluency, and boosts confidence in early literacy development.

Benefits

• Mastering sound blending

• Developing fluency in reading phonetically regular words

• Supports early literacy skill development

• Lays the groundwork for advanced reading comprehension

Have you ever wished students in the prereading and early reading stage could have opportunities to be fluent and build automaticity? How can students who barely know letter names and sounds become fluent? Ready Reads are just what you are looking for.

Ready Reads are warm up activities for the eyes and the brain and can support any curriculum. Ready Read charts cumulatively follow the scope and sequence of UFLI and support the Science of Reading. Use these in small group, whole group on the projector, in partners for accountability, or for students to whisper read to themselves. They can easily be adapted in an I read, We read, You read or Your turn, My turn format. Ready Reads can be used for students to say the letter name and/or the letter sound practicing grapheme recognition as well as phoneme recall. For pre-readers and early readers alike, this activity builds the left to right progression of reading and builds fluency for letters and concepts already learned. This is the building block for automaticity and fluent reading.
