Aligned to The Science of Reading:

Teaching your students to decode and blend CVC words means they will learn the sounds that letters make and be able to use that knowledge to read words correctly. It starts with early literacy skills like recognising the letter-sound relationships in CVC words. The science of reading research strongly supports using CVC (Consonant-Vowel-Consonant) words as a foundational element in early phonics and reading instruction.
