CVC Cloud Builder
Look • Listen • Build • Blend • Read
Turn early word building into meaningful hands-on play with the CVC Cloud Builder — an engaging literacy resource designed to help children explore the sounds and letters that make up simple three-letter words.
Children begin by choosing one of the 17 interchangeable picture tiles and placing it into the cloud. They identify the picture, listen for the sounds they hear, then search through the raindrop letters to find the letters needed to build the matching CVC word below.
By physically selecting and arranging each letter, children can begin connecting sounds to letters while developing the early decoding and spelling skills that support confident reading.
How to Play
- Choose a picture tile and place it in the cloud.
- Say the word aloud.
- Stretch the word slowly and listen for each sound.
- Find the matching raindrop letters.
- Place the letters in order beneath the cloud.
- Point to each letter, blend the sounds together and read the word!
For example:
cat → /c/ /a/ /t/ → cat
Change the picture and build a new word — giving children repeated opportunities to listen, build, blend and read.
