Super Segmenting CCVCC Words
This simple worksheet encourages students to practise segmenting phonemes in CCVCC words as they write them, using sound boxes. There are 2 different levels to allow for differentiation.
These sheets can be printed onto coloured paper and laminated or placed in write and wipe sleeves to act as a reusable literacy rotation or fast finisher activity.

Learning goals
- We are learning to understand that a letter can represent more than one sound, e.g. cat, swan, ball, fast etc. and that a syllable must contain a vowel sound.
- We are learning how to spell one- and two-syllable words with common letter patterns.
- We are learning to use vowel sounds, consonant blends and digraphs when writing and reading one- and two-syllable words.
- We are learning to write words using unjoined lower case and upper case letters using functional pencil grip.
- We are learning to form all upper and lower-case letters correctly.
- We are learning to use vowel sounds, consonant digraphs and blends when writing and reading single syllable words.
- We are learning how to spell one and two syllable words with common letter patterns.
