These research-based, hands-on alphabet arc mats were instantly a daily staple in my small groups as they can be differentiated for any level of small group without any additional purchases or downloads so they last all year long. The mats encourage students to interact with sounds and words in several multi-sensory ways and make heart word practice easy with options for 3 to 5 Elkonin sound boxes, heart outlines, numbers for counting sounds, a blending arrow, and more!

Unique features:

• 75 variations of word mapping mats
• Colors matching most other Science of Reading supplementals on TPT
• Alphabet arc mats compatible with 1-1.5” magnetic letters (standard Lakeshore size)
• Numbered circles to count sounds to encourage multi-sensory practice
• Full color or color-saving options
• Option for sound blending arrow as an extra word-review reminder
• Option for hearts above Elkonin sound boxes to highlight heart parts
• Option for primary writing lines to practice handwriting
• Primary-style letters for a dyslexia-friendly tool

With the variety of features and options, you are sure to find everything you need and want in a word mapping tool. These alphabet arc mats are as simple as print and go or can be made for longer term use by laminating or using page protectors so you can use them as soon as you purchase!

Ideas for use:
