More About This Resource
These Science of Reading-based literacy center activities have students use their knowledge of heart words (irregularly spelled high-frequency words) to create phoneme-grapheme word associations and practice phonemic awareness skills. This resource also includes editable templates to create a heart word center with any word.
Research shows irregular high-frequency words can be committed to memory after 1-4 exposures. For struggling readers, it can take up to 20 exposures. These centers will provide your students with the practice they need to be able to store heart words into their sight word memories. Use these activities for review at a center after you have explicitly and systematically introduced heart words to your students. Check out my Heart Words Teaching Slides for more!

Love having a resource to use for recording these activities. I’ve been stretching words with kids with the popits, but I like for them to then be able to record the orthographic mapping.

I cannot say enough great things about this resource. First off, you have made my life easier by providing engaging activities that go along with your heart word bundle that I already had. Plus my kiddos love the activities. There is enough variety that they are not bored and, even better, they are learning!!!
