CVC (Consonant-Vowel-Consonant) words are fantastic for kindergarten ESL learners to study because they not only help build phonemic awareness, but also the relatively simple decoding process helps boost reading confidence and bridge the gap between letter recognition and meaningful reading. Here are some videos, songs, and games focusing on letter 'o' CVC words that you can use in your class to make your lessons more fun and varied!

The resources are divided into three:

1. Songs - The first two videos are full alphabet chants for warm-up and practicing all letter sounds. The rest are songs specifically for 'o' CVC words

2. Educational Videos - Letter 'o' and 'CVC o' pronunciation videos and cartoons.

3. Educational Games - CVC word games to play.
