More About This Resource
The science of reading shows that mapping words can promote orthographic mapping and strengthen phoneme-grapheme associations to create strong readers! Through this resource, students connect the speech sounds (phonemes) of a word to the letters or letter combinations (graphemes). This process utilizes the oral language processing part of a student’s brain to help them permanently store words into their sight word memory.
Included in this download are interactive digital slides for over 485 words. These interactive slides are perfect for independent student practice or center work. Students will see a picture of the word to build meaning, hear an audio recording of the word, map the phonemes (sounds) they hear, and then spell the word using graphemes.
This resource also includes printable phoneme-grapheme association mapping boards and word image cards for small group instruction. Use these printables to complete the same word mapping routine with your students!
Resource includes:
Digital word mapping Google slides for over 485 words
Printable image cards for each word
Printable word mapping practice pages
PNGs also included for use in Seesaw

My students have been working on their mapping skills and this was an easy way to have each student do their own word with each skill that we were working on. I strongly recommend.

This resource has helped to support my reading groups that use decodable readers. The word mapping mats align with the decodables that I am using from the same seller.

I am teaching 3rd and 4th graders who do not know how to read to read. They are catching on so quickly with this program! I can’t wait to see how far they progress as we move up.

Helpful with my son whom I’m homeschooling. He is an excellent reader but struggles with spelling.

I was using this as an intervention with a first grader to help him sound out words and to write the correct letter to match. This worked so well for him that now he hasn’t been struggling when writing words. Excellent
