Phoneme Grapheme Mapping Tap it Write it

Phoneme-grapheme mapping, or word mapping, is a physical way in which to represent the relationship between the phonemes and graphemes. Theses maps allow the student to connect the graphemes (letters) to the phonemes (sounds).

Research shows that helping students connect the two is a crucial step inbuilding a strong phonics foundation.

Making it fun is a BONUS! Who doesn't love a good stamp? In this activity students practice phoneme grapheme mapping by stamping the phoneme (sound) and then writing the corresponding grapheme (letter).
