Sight Word Play Dough Mats
Play dough mats are a great way to practice fine motor skills while learning a variety of other skills. These particular mats can be used to help teach children high frequency words.

CVC words are a key tool in teaching and learning phonics. CVC words help introduce children to reading by using phonics to learn the sounds of the individual letters, and then blending those sounds into one three-letter word.
This particular activity shows a picture and a word and children have to match them together. This activity is particularly helpful for visual learners.
This includes 60 different CVC words and 2 different sets - one in which the children begin with the word and find the corresponding picture and one where they begin with the picture.
