Which term corresponds to 'consonant vowel consonant'?

• A. Phonemic awareness
• B. Onset
• C. Shared reading
• D. CVC

Answer: (D)

Understanding common word-pattern descriptions used in early decoding. The sequence consonant–vowel–consonant describes a simple three-letter word structure in which a short vowel sits between two consonants. The standard shorthand for this pattern is CVC, which teachers use to categorize and teach decoding patterns like cat, map, or sun. This helps students practice blending sounds to pronounce unfamiliar words by linking each letter to its sound and smoothly merging them into a word. Phonemic awareness is about hearing and manipulating individual sounds rather than describing a written letter pattern. Onset refers only to the initial sound or consonant cluster of a syllable, not the entire CVC structure. Shared reading is a classroom activity, not a label for a word pattern.
