If you’re looking for a fun and effective way to practice CVC words this fall, these printable Roll & Read board games are the perfect resource. Students will build reading fluency, spelling, and writing skills while playing engaging games that feel more like fun than practice. Designed for literacy centers, small groups, or independent work, these games are a must-have for early readers, ESL, and ELL classrooms.
Why Teachers Love This Game
Learning to decode and spell short vowel CVC words is a foundational phonics skill. These games provide repeated exposure to CVC words in an interactive way, helping students gain confidence while reinforcing reading accuracy. Rolling dice and moving across the board keeps learners engaged, while the differentiated task cards ensure that all levels are supported.
Two Types of Differentiated Cards
- Spell It: Students choose the missing vowel to complete the CVC word.
- Write It: Students look at the picture and write the word on their recording sheet.
This flexibility allows you to target different skills depending on your students’ needs.
What’s Included
- 3 Printable Board Games (each prints on two 8.5 x 11" pages – laminate and tape together for durability)
- 72 Question Cards (covering short vowels A, E, I, O, U)
- Game Markers
- Box Labels for easy organization

How to Use
Students roll the dice, move their marker, and read the CVC word in the space. If a card is drawn, they either spell the missing vowel or write the word on their sheet. The answer keys make it easy for students to check their work independently, making this a low-prep literacy activity that can be reused all year long.
