Turn CVC word practice into a hands-on literacy adventure!

This CVC Word Fine Motor Mat Bundle combines three favorite word-building formats into one powerful tool for boosting early reading skills and fine motor strength.

Whether your kids are rolling play dough, building with snap cubes, or tracing with their fingers or dry erase markers, these mats make decoding CVC words feel like play!

Designed with early learners, special education, and intervention groups in mind, each CVC word mat supports phonics instruction while developing foundational life skills.

These CVC Fine Motor Word Mats the perfect blend of literacy and fine motor... ready for centers, small groups, or independent work time.

What’s Included in the CVC Word Fine Motor Mat Bundle?

You’ll receive 3 engaging versions of our CVC Word Mats:

❤️ CVC Play Dough Mats

Plain Outline Format Kids “make it, read it, write it” by shaping letters with play dough or Wikki Stix and tracing or writing each word.

🧡 CVC Play Dough Mats

Play Dough Letter Box Format Students build each letter of the word in designated boxes using play dough, then trace and write the word. Extra support for letter formation and sequencing!

💛 CVC Snap Cube Mats

Learners build each CVC word with snap cubes, trace the word, and complete a visual discrimination “circle it” activity by choosing the correct word from a set of decoys.

All of the CVC word mats are provided in both color and black & white for easy printing and prep.

Skills Addressed:

Primary Academic Skills:

CVC word decoding: Practice reading and spelling short vowel words.
Sound-letter correspondence: Strengthen phonemic awareness through hands-on letter building.
Fine motor development: Build finger strength, pencil grip, and hand-eye coordination through molding, tracing, and manipulating.
Word recognition: Reinforce visual memory and recognition of simple sight words and decodable patterns.

Secondary Skills (Life Skills & SEL):

Task persistence: Completing each mat from start to finish supports attention span and sequencing.
Visual scanning and discrimination: Especially in the snap cube version, kids scan and identify words visually.
Independent work habits: Perfect for fostering responsibility during centers or quiet time.
Confidence building: The consistent format and built-in success opportunities help even struggling readers feel successful.

Literacy Centers: Rotate through each version to keep practice fresh and fun!
Small Groups: Use the CVC word mats for guided reading warm-ups or phonics instruction.
Independent Work: Let students choose their favorite version for morning tubs or early finisher activities.
Intervention: Great for RTI, ELL support, and special education classrooms.
Homeschool & Take-Home Practice: Add to reading folders for extra CVC reinforcement at home.
OT & Speech Therapy: Pair phonemic tasks with fine motor goals for cross-domain success.

Just what I needed!

I love the "Flip" activities. They're always colorful and engaging. These activities reinforce childrens use of language, labeling, identifying of vocabulary associated with specific themes. My students in the past have loved the Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall flip, so when I wanted to update my beginning of the school year activities I happened to find the September themed one and knew I had to purchase it. I laminate my mats and have the kids cover the images with colored small or large game chips, vase jewels or playdough. If the images on the mats are too busyi make sure to uave extra copies for the kids to engage in matching the images. The kids love it!

We LOVE it

Great game. My students love it and my kids at home. Lots of fun times playing this game. I love the variety in boards. My suggestion for customers is to print it on cardstock so you can't see through the cards.
