After establishing vocabulary through visual recognition, the next crucial step in vocabulary development is guiding learners to form words by segmenting and blending individual sounds. This phonemic awareness is foundational to early reading skills. The introduction of CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) word patterns plays a vital role in language acquisition, especially for EFL learners such as Vietnamese children, who benefit from structured and consistent sound-symbol associations. At the K4 level, these young learners are developmentally prepared to move beyond word recognition. They are now ready to master key lesson vocabulary and begin decoding words independently by blending letter sounds—a critical milestone in their journey toward fluent reading.
