This March CVC Mapping Mats free download includes engaging, hands-on phonics mats that help students segment sounds, map phonemes to graphemes, and build CVC words with confidence.

These mats pair easily with counters, chips, cubes, letter tiles, or dry-erase markers and are perfect for small groups, literacy centers, or independent word work.
The March theme adds fun seasonal engagement while keeping the instructional focus strong.
