November Free CVCe Word Mapping Mats — Say It, Tap It, Map It with Turkey & Fall Themes

Bring a cozy, seasonal feel to your phonics block with these free November CVCe Word Mapping Mats. Following the Say It, Tap It, Map It routine, students first say a CVCe word (e.g. cake), then tap each phoneme including the silent e, and finally map the sounds to letters in the boxes provided. The mats can include subtle turkey, acorn, or leaf visuals to gently cue fall seasonality without distracting from the phonics work. These mats help students internalize vowel-consonant-e patterns, support orthographic mapping, and reinforce decoding and encoding skills in a consistent routine. They’re perfect for small groups, literacy centers, intervention, or independent phonics practice.

Ideas for Use:
• Use during guided phonics groups to model word mapping with silent e words.
• Place in literacy centers or phonics tubs for independent decoding practice.
• Pair with fall counters (mini leaves, acorn erasers, etc.) for tapping and mapping engagement.
• Use as intervention for students who struggle with silent e or long vowel patterns.
• Send a few mats home for extra phonics practice and reinforcement.
