Pick it! Build it! Write it! Work Mats

Literacy Activities: Pick it! Build it! Write it! is a hands-on and engaging literacy activities that will reinforce letter and sight word recognition and formation.

Finding literacy centers that can be used all year long, and can be easily differentiated. I came up with these work mats to make my kindergarten centers easy and engaging.

The numbers version of these mats were a hit, so I knew these would be a perfect alphabet activity for my class.

Literacy Activities

Pick it! Build it! Write it! includes 3 simple work mats that can be used in several different ways.

Students can pick a letter, build it, and write it. You can use a variety of materials for the “build it” parts. Any of your loose parts would be fun!

This activity pack comes with all the letter cards in two different versions: with just the letter, or the letter and the picture.

2. The next version of this work mat has students building sight words. The 40 Pre-Primer Dolch sight words are included, and there are also a few blank cards that you can use to write in your own sight words.

3. The last version in this set also works on sight words, but encourages students to use the sight word in a sentence.
