Use the CVC Word Strips for introduction or practice of CVC words. These magnetic cards with double sides would work great on the Large Versa Board (Item #080162) we carry. One side shows the CVC word and a picture of the item. The other side has blank shaped spaces for the letters and the picture. Try using the Rainbow Magnetic Alphabet Letters (Item #071614) to create the correct CVC words. The magnetic cards are very sturdy with rounded edges. The cards are approximately 2 ½ inches high, and 5 to 8 inches long. ~Judy
