CVC Words and Sentence Reading Roads

Description

Turn CVC decoding practice into something students actually want to do. With CVC Words and Sentence Reading Roads, students drive a toy car along the road mat while reading word strips and sentence strips aloud, building decoding accuracy and fluency through repeated, engaging practice that feels like play.

With 9 road mat designs, 75 word strips, and 100 sentence strips, this center gives you flexible, decoding practice at both the word and sentence level.
