🔤 Build the Word (CVC Words Activity, Ages 3-6)
This Build the Word activity helps your child take their first steps into reading and writing by working with simple three-letter CVC words.
Children pick an image, build the word using letter cards, and then try writing it, supported by clear visual prompts and repetition. The activity supports phonics, early writing, and letter recognition in a way that feels simple, clear, and achievable for young learners, with simple parent guidance included to help you take the activity beyond the page.

- ages 3-6
