Printable Read Build Write Mats + Vocabulary Cards

Using Read Build Write Sight Word Mats and vocabulary cards are my absolute favorite way to have kids practice their spelling and sight words. I will be constantly adding new themed words to this page so make sure to always check back! These fun learning mats are great for students during word work and literacy centers.

Read Build Write Mats

My kids learn better through hands on learning. Sight words can be difficult for some children to learn (1 out of 2 kids for me) and hands on practice is the best way to get kids to notice each and every letter. We also use this at home to work on spelling words for the week. This has really made a big difference in our spelling test grades at school.
You may have heard of Say it, Build it, Write it Mats or Read it, build it, write it. They are all the same thing just different terms.

How to use the Read Build Write Activity Mats

Read it!
First, the child needs to read the vocabulary word.

Build it! Second, the child needs to build the vocabulary word using alphabet letter tiles, alphabet magnets, or use your DIY alphabet box. I include some recommendations below.

Write it! Lastly, the child needs to write it. (Some of my free themed vocabulary sets have tracing cards for each word. My sets for sale always have tracing cards.)

If you want to read more about what Read Build Write Activity Mats are and why you should use them then check out my previous post here: What are Read Build Write Mats?
