Free digraphs and CCVC mapping mats. Students follow icons to say, tap, map, and write words for structured phonics practice.
These Digraphs and CCVC Mapping Mats provide a step-by-step visual guide to phonics practice. Each mat includes built-in icons to remind students of the full routine: say the word, tap the sounds, map the phonemes, and write the complete word. This scaffolded process supports decoding, encoding, and orthographic mapping, making it perfect for small-groups and science of reading-aligned instruction.
Example words: chat, whip, math, sled, grab, twig, drum
Icons cue students through each step of the process without teacher prompting
Multisensory: students use manipulatives to map sounds, then write the word
Encourages independence while reinforcing decoding and spelling
Great for small-groups, intervention, or independent practice
Flexible enough for use with any decodable word list
These mats ensure students build phonics fluency with clear visual supports while linking sound, symbol, and spelling.
