More About This Resource
Looking for a science of reading based literacy center that exposes students to high frequency words and utilizes the heart word method? With this independent student activity, students will use their knowledge of heart words to create phoneme-grapheme word associations. This process utilizes the oral language processing part of a student’s brain to help them permanently store high frequency words into their sight word memory. Use this activity as a review after you have explicitly and systematically introduced heart words to your students. This resource also includes editable templates. Check out my Heart Words Teaching Slides for more!
⭐️ ⭐️ SAVE BIG ON THE BUNDLE: HEART WORD MAPPING CENTERS & ACTIVITIES ⭐️ ⭐️
Using these heart word mapping digital slides, students will practice their high frequency words through phoneme grapheme mapping. Students will hear an audio clip of the word, read a sentence to hear the high frequency word used in context, map the word by moving a chip for each sound they hear, graph the word by spelling the word with graphemes and identifying the “tricky” part of the word that must be learned by heart. Tutorial included for how to edit the hearts for each word.
Resource includes:
- Heart word information for the teacher
- Heart word mapping digital slides for 220 words
- Self-check box included for each slide
- Editable templates included to use with any word
- Seesaw compatible PNGs for 220 words (NOT a premade seesaw activity)
220 high frequency words included:
