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:

These stations are great to send out through Seesaw for my students to use during an independent time. My students love them.

This was a great way for my kids to practice learning heart words. It was very engaging and kept the kids motivated to learn new words. Thank you so much for making this!

Thank you!

Great resource. Would be great if there was a contents page to make it easier to locate the words. Thanks heaps for creating this wonderful resource!

Excited to use this as a center activity with my students. I love the audio support for my ELLs.

Worked perfectly for small group. I was looking for something that would say the word to the students and this really helped.
Rosemary O. –
This is great. It’s easy and simple. I like how everything is on one slide. As I introduce a word, this is a great visual. I do wish that it was available on Seesaw with movable parts since that is the platform my students use in Kindergarten and not Google slides.

Great resource to practice and solidify concepts in a fun way.
Kristin P. –
Thank you for this resource. It is a great way for students to practice the heart spellings of the High Frequency Words. It would be nice to have an index where you can click on the word you need and it goes to that page. It would also be great if they were listed in alphabetical order so they are easier to find quickly. Any chance you will include a template so we can add HFW’s from our own curriculum?
