Unlock the Key to Early Reading Success!

Teaching reading doesn’t have to be so hard!

Are you tired of:

Does this sound familiar?

• You teach a phonics lesson yet students don’t apply what they’ve learned to their reading and writing.
• You can’t find a decodable for a specific skill you taught.
• You spend way too much time creating extra practice for your ELL’s or high readers.
• You try to pair phonemic awareness and phonics practice into your reading lesson but you are not sure you did it right.
• You know your beginning readers need to spend more time practicing what you’ve taught but you just don’t have the resources.
• You spend hours looking for resources that allow students to explicitly practice the phonics skill they are working on in context?

Here’s the thing:

Teaching beginning readers doesn’t have to be complicated and time consuming.

Benefits of Phonics Mats

• Practice! Research shows as much as 80% of the time in a primary classroom should be practicing what they’ve learned. Our students need to be practicing using systematic and effective resources, like Phonics Mats.
• Differentiation made easy: With a bundle of decodable readers with a range of learning targets, teachers can easily differentiate instruction based on their students’ abilities.
• Skill reinforcement: The inclusion of phonics activity mats in your classroom allows teachers to reinforce phonics skills in a hands-on and interactive way.
• Use as an assessment: Use as a formative assessment mid-teaching or as a summative assessment at the end of a unit. These are a great way to see if learning has transferred to authentic reading!
• Perfect for English Language Learners: These targeted phonics mats with short, snappy decodable text work wonders with your students who are learning English.
• Quick and effective: Once students get a hang of the format, they can finish their mat in a timely manner. I let my students read them to classmates for extra practice.
• Helps with lack of resources: I don’t know about you, but I am always looking for extra decodables for my students. With 166 mats, you will have 166 new reading resources.
• Reading fluency: Students need all the fluency practice they can get. My students love to put completed Phonics Mats in their book boxes and read them during independent or buddy reading.
• Engaging: These mats provide a variety of ways to practice phonics which primary students find very engaging so they are motivated to complete them.

Watch as your students master phonics skills and become strong, confident readers!
