Are you looking for a fun, hands-on game to help students practise decoding mixed CVCC and CCVC words?
This Dots & Boxes game gets students blending and reading CVCC and CCVC words across all five short vowels while playing a classic dots and boxes game. All common spellings are included.
Students take turns drawing one line to connect two dots. Once they complete a square, they must correctly decode the word inside to claim that square. The game ends when no more lines can be drawn, and the student with the most claimed squares at the end of the game wins.
Black and white templates are also included, along with a recording template for students to sort the words by short vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u).
What's included:
12 sets of Dots & Boxes mats with mixed CVCC CCVC words
Black and white templates
A recording template for sorting words by short vowel
