Common Mistakes to Watch For

• Skipping or guessing the middle vowel sound — first graders often read 'pin' as 'pan' or 'pen' because they latch onto the first and last consonants and guess the vowel from context.
• Mixing up short e and short i, which sound similar to young ears. Students will write 'bed' as 'bid' or read 'pen' as 'pin' until they get targeted practice distinguishing the two sounds.
• Forgetting that CVC words have exactly three sounds, not three letters. First graders sometimes count silent letters or skip the vowel when segmenting, making it hard to spell unfamiliar CVC words on their own.
