4 Seasons Word Mats Phonetically Coded

Here is a set of four season word mats: Spring, summer, autumn and winter word mats.

These mats are different from others as they are phonetically coded!

Help students learn essential vocabulary words for each season!

Key phonetic patterns are colour-coded on each word to reinforce spelling rules students know and help decode new terms.

This multisensory approach builds confidence, especially for struggling learners.

Teachers can display the mat for whole-group lessons, provide printed copies for small groups to use to sort words, or have students reference the mat independently during writing.

Used alongside the coordinating flashcards found in the Lilibettes resources store, or as part of a seasonal word study unit, this versatile resource is suitable for a variety of elementary grade levels and settings including general education, special education, and homeschool.

How the phonetically coded seasons word mats can help

When children can identify the sounds they've already learned in words they haven't used before, they can spell new words more quickly.

As students use the word mat, the spelling patterns they have already learned are reinforced.

When the sounds are highlighted for them, the children are thrilled to discover that many of the "new" words are ones they can sound out on their own! This gives them so much more confidence!

Who are the Four Seasons Word Mats for?

All children can use it, but those with special needs who find it difficult to transfer words from the board to their paper will gain the most from it. It can sit directly on the desk, making writing more simpler and boosting confidence.

They can also be used as posters for display.
