Digraph Missing Sound Mats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These digraph word building mats are so fun to use and have so many benefits for your kindergarten<\/a> or first-grade students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your students know their letter sounds and have mastered CVC words, moving on to phonics<\/a> instruction with digraphs is a great next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digraphs are combinations of two letters that, when combined, represent one sound. Ch and Sh are examples. They can appear at the beginning or the end of words! You might see it at the start of a word, such as CHeese. They are also at the end of words, like fiSH!<\/p>\n\n\n

Digraph Word Building Mats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Students will identify the picture that is at the beginning of the line. Then they will use letter manipulatives to practice adding phonemes to build the word pictured. They could use magnetic letters or letter beads to build the words or use a dry-erase marker while the mats are inside of write and wipe pockets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This continues until they have built all the words on the mat.<\/p>\n\n\n
