This resource provides a collection of Roll & Read word mats designed to help students practice spelling patterns using blends and digraphs.

Overview

• Purpose: These mats focus on phonetic spelling patterns while integrating core math skills.
• Format: There are 12 sets of words, each repeated across six differentiated math activities to allow for year-long use or discreet differentiation.
• Preparation: Mats should be printed and laminated for use with a six-sided die. They are designed with light pastel colors to allow for grayscale printing if preferred.
