Blending basic CVC letters to make words is one of the first steps to independent reading. Provided here are several images of stairs and several letters to cut and arrange. The learner rearranges the letters to form CVC patterns, sounds them out to see if they are real words, then writes the words on each stair step. This is a great early reading activity that incorporates both writing and problem solving.
