Free digraphs and CCVC magnet mats. Students see the picture and build the word with magnetic letters to practice phonics decoding.
These Digraphs and CCVC Magnet Mats give students hands-on phonics practice with decoding and spelling. Students look at the picture on the mat, then use magnetic letters to build the word sound by sound. This interactive activity reinforces phoneme-grapheme mapping, blending, and spelling while staying aligned with the science of reading.
Example words: ship, dish, shin, crab, sled, twig, frog
Students place magnetic letters to build each sound in the word
