Once our students have learned to decode and encode simple CVC, CCVC and CVCC words composed of letters in the basic code – but before we step up to working on polysyllabic words – we recommend that students practice decoding short sentences containing similar words that contrast CVC and CVCC word pairs, e.g. <rib> and <ribs>, <sun> and <sunk>, <bran> and <brand>.

In this early reading support resource we feature 42 decodable CVC/CVCC minimal pairs and near minimal pairs contrasted in short sentences.

Early reading support: 42 decodable Consonant-Vowel-Consonant (CVC)/Consonant-Vowel-Consonant-Consonant (CVCC) minimal pairs and near minimal pairs contrasted in short sentences (e.g. The man had to push the ram up the ramp.)
