Need a way for students to INDEPENDENTLY practice mapping high frequency words? This is IT!!! The Science of Reading supports Orthographic Mapping as an essential tool in building fluent readers. This process helps students connect the sounds that they hear in words to the spelling that those sounds make. Mapping out sounds makes words more easily recognizable, and the words become part of a reader’s long-term memory.
When students have the opportunity to practice this mapping process hands-on, their neural connections become stronger, and they can then read and write words more fluently.
This March – St. Patrick’s Day Themed Independent Mapping Words Centers make reading FUN and the self-correcting cards give students immediate feedback!!!

For Teachers That Use ‘Heart Words’ In Their Classroom: You may teach skills at different times of the year making different parts of a high frequency word the ‘heart’ part. Because there are these differences, I have made the hearts in the PowerPoint file moveable. If you do not use ‘heart words’ in your classroom, you should utilize the PDF version of this activity.

With nearly 20 years of experience as a full-time kindergarten teacher, I’m committed to creating a classroom where learning is joyful, engaging, challenging, and fun. Each day, I work to ensure that my students feel successful through instruction that considers their unique interests, learning profiles, and readiness levels. I believe that students should be excited to come to class and enjoy a myriad of hands-on activities that encourage exploration and discovery.
While I continue to teach full-time, I find so much joy in connecting and building friendships with teachers worldwide. It’s why I started this blog back in 2012. My hope has become a reality as I have been able to forge relationships with teachers, sharing ideas and building friendships beyond my little neck of the woods through professional development sessions and this blog.
So by all means, take some time to look around and explore A Differentiated Kindergarten. Gather some new ideas, fun tips, and most importantly, don’t forget to reach out and say, ‘Hi!’
