June Phoneme Grapheme Orthographic Word Mapping for Sound Symbol Connections

Rooted in the Science of Reading following the multi-sensory Orton-Gillingham approach, mapping words strengthens student phoneme grapheme associations and is an essential skill for all readers. With this resource, students practice orthographic mapping by connecting speech sounds (phonemes) to written letter or letter combinations (graphemes). It is especially important for students with dyslexia and students in need of intervention, RTI, and small group support.

Students orthographically map words provided verbally while developing and strengthening their working memory and auditory processing skills. Sound symbol correspondences must be explicitly and systematically taught to students in a whole class, small group or 1v1 setting. The most ideal situation would be to use this product 1v1 to ensure each child receives the appropriate immediate feedback, but that isn’t always feasible. It is still a valuable resource in small groups such as with intervention groups, RTI groups, reading groups, and even centers when words can be provided, preferably by a volunteer or adult available to provide feedback.

How to Use this Resource:

• Say It: Students are verbally given a word. Students repeat the word back.
• Tap It: Students use their fingers to tap out each sound heard in the word.
• Map It: Students move one object covering up one picture for each sound (phoneme) in the word.
• Graph It: Students say each sound (phoneme) while writing each letter or letter combination (grapheme) in the word. This is especially important to note for digraphs and words that follow spelling rules such as the floss rule (as in fill). More details provided in the product of how to handle this.
• Write It: Students write the entire word on the line.
