Spin and Read Activity / CVC-CCVC-CVCC

This printable literacy activity includes 6 engaging spin-and-write pages designed to help children practice reading and spelling phonics words independently and in a fun, hands-on way.

Each page features a spinning wheel with 6 pictures and a recording box with 12 writing spaces. Children spin the arrow, identify the picture it lands on, and write the corresponding word in one of the boxes. They continue spinning and writing until all 12 boxes are completed. Words may be repeated, making this activity perfect for extra repetition and phonics reinforcement.

The pack includes:

• 2 pages with CVC words
  Page 1 : pig, fan, jam, box, bus, dog
  Page 2 : log, map,cup, fox, sun, bat

• 2 pages with CCVC words
  Page 1 : flag, frog, drum, drop, crab, twin
  Page 2 : clap, slug, swim, plum,trap, star

• 2 pages with CVCC words
  Page 1 : milk, sand, vest, lamp, pink, nest
  Page 2 : tent, desk, gold, jump, king, gift

To make the activity easier for independent use, a small piece of Velcro is placed under the arrow and another in the center of the wheel. This allows children to easily attach, spin, remove, and store the arrow when finished, making it ideal for literacy centers, small groups, early finishers, or independent practice.

Benefits of this activity:

• Builds phonics and decoding skills
• Reinforces spelling patterns through repetition
• Encourages independent learning
• Develops fine motor skills through spinning and writing
• Increases engagement with a hands-on interactive format
• Supports early reading fluency and word recognition

You can also add your own spinning arrow. I used arrows similar to these from Amazon:
