How It Works
Students follow the Say It, Map It, Graph It, Color It process to build strong phonics skills:
- Say It – Look at the picture and say the word slowly.
- Map It – Tap out and map each sound heard in the word.
- Graph It – Write the letters for each sound in the boxes, focusing on the targeted phonics pattern.
- Color It – Find the same word in the color by code picture and color it to match.
This systematic routine reinforces phoneme mapping, phoneme-grapheme correspondence, encoding, and decoding skills, giving students meaningful, interactive practice with key reading strategies.
