How to Use the Spin and Build Mats
To begin, each child gets a mat. They will then place a transparent spinner over the spinner on the mat . Once they spin, they build the word they landed on inside the pumpkin’s mouth. Finally, they will write that word on the line and practice reading the word.
For example, if the game board has CVC words with a short a sound on it. The student will spin the spinner and land on the word “cat.”
They will then build the word in the mouth of the pumpkin. Lastly, they will write the word “cat” on the line. Then, erase and spin again. The line is long enough for students to write the word more than once, if you would like.
Your students will be engaged in fun and learning while using these read, build, and write mats! Students will be working on letter sounds, letter recognition, consonant vowel consonant words, phonics skills and more!
I just love all the possibilities!
Easy to differentiate!
These free printable word building mats are so versatile because there are mats for each short vowel sound! I love these mats for a fun way to practice spelling CVC words!
Each student can be working on the CVC words they struggle with the most. It gives them a hands-on learning experience that they will love!
Instead of using letter manipulatives to build the word, students could use play dough to make the word. Adding in a sensory option for another learning experience is always a great idea! Plus, they would be building their fine motor muscles.
Teachers could use these spin and build mats for literacy centers, word-building activities, small group activities, morning tubs, early finishers, tutoring groups, a home learning task, and so much more!
