Short Vowel Word Building Mats

Description

Do you need a quick and easy – print and play literacy centre that focuses on CVC activities?

Are you wanting an engaging hands-on activity for short vowels that are differentiated for a variety of learning levels?

These CVC games are ready to print and play! I use these word building mats as literacy centres, in my morning buckets, for fast finishers, and in individual lessons! They are so versatile! Do you have a parent that wants to come in and help out in your classroom? Give them this bucket for an easy ready to go educational activity that won’t stress you out to prep!!

Below are a variety of other ways I have used these CVC activity worksheets:

1. As an 8.5 x 11 magnet mat – laminate and use with whiteboard markers or magnets

2. Cut into strips for use on a filing cabinet or radiator – this way you can mix up the vowels for a more diverse learning experience

3. Used in a group or one on one guided reading session

4. Given to parent or classroom volunteers for extra help with learners

5. Use the answer key and cover up the letters and reveal them as the child sounds them out for immediate feedback to the student on their learning

6. Set out for fast finishers

7. Laminate and use in your writing centre to help students sound out words in their writing

8. Cut the letters apart and have the student piece the word back together

CVC activities and short vowel work are an important step in reading and building confidence as a writer. I hope these work in your classroom as well as they have worked in mine!
