Let’s take an example Mat is an example of a CVC word. Each letter makes its sound clearly and hence is easily decodable. It is easy for a beginning readers to blend the letter sounds to say the word. Log, pig, pot, run, and tag are also examples of CVC words. Check out a complete guide on how to read through phonics.
