Are you looking for no-prep phonics activities to consolidate high frequency words with tricky spellings? These heart word mapping mats will help your students to use orthographic mapping with heart words - these are words with tricky or irregular spellings.
With each of these heart word mapping mats, students will:

Tap the sounds
Map the word
Find the word
Write the word
Simply place in write and wipe mats to use over and over again to consolidate high-frequency word knowledge.

Flash words are high-frequency words with regular spellings. These words can be easily sounded out (decoded) but we want students to know these words ‘in a flash’.
By using the alphabetic code to identify the different graphemes, students will be able to understand how to spell all words on the high-frequency words list of any phonics or spelling program
