December Digraphs and CCVC Word Mapping Mats Free Download – Science of Reading Phonics Mats for Segmenting and Blending

This December Digraphs and CCVC Word Mapping Mats Free Download provides seasonal, structured practice for students working beyond CVC words. Using a Science of Reading-aligned routine, students tap each sound, map the phonemes, and write the full digraph or CCVC word, strengthening decoding and encoding skills at the next level of phonics development.

These mats help students identify two-letter sounds (sh, ch, th, wh, ck) as a single phoneme while also building confidence with words that begin with beginning blends and more. The December theme adds excitement while maintaining the focus on accurate phoneme–grapheme connections.

Perfect for small-group instruction, literacy centers, morning tubs, or at-home practice throughout the month of December.

• Add to December phonics centers for daily digraph and CCVC mapping
