Word Mapping Mats: Science Of Reading Phonics Activities

🧠 Science of Reading | Word Mapping Templates | Sound Boxes (3-, 4-, and 5-Sound Words) – Year-Long Phonics Practice

These word mapping mats are a science of reading-aligned tool to help students map words into their long-term memory.   Students will use letter-sound associations to promote orthographic mapping to become strong readers.

Using these research-based word mapping mats,  students connect the sounds of a word to the letters or letter combinations to spell the sounds. This process of phoneme-grapheme word mapping will help students permanently store words in their memory.
