Read, Build, Write Printables

Read, Build, and Write mats are a fun way for you to squeeze in a little extra learning with your child. Print off one (or all) of the mats to use with your child or in your classroom. There are multiple colors of mats to choose between as well as various word cards for topics, books, and more!

The Read, Build, Write Mats are simple to use!  

  • Read: Place one of the cards in the top box and read the word together.
  • Build: Use letter tiles or magnets to build the word in the second box.
  • Write: Practice writing the word in the bottom box using Vis-a-vis markers.

The Read! Build! Write! mats include mats in seven different colors and ABC letter tiles in uppercase and lowercase. Additional vowel tiles are also included in a different color if you wish to emphasize the vowels in spelling. Scroll down for vocabulary cards to go along with the mats.

  1. I really like these pages to extend hands-on learning after reading the books as well as to review everyday items (fruits, veggies, etc.).

  2. Lisa Smith says

    Great great share! The biggest advantage of writing homeschool curriculum is that you are not restricted by the routine of attendance at classes but you can study at your own convenience.

  3. Hi, I have downloaded a good bit from your site – thank you! But with these RBW ones, I must not have your font, because the letter aren’t spaced correctly and the dashed/bold lines for writing only come across as backslashes. Do you know how I could remedy this? Thanks!

  4. Emily Otoole says

    Writing for kids is a very important skill to master. To facilitate this belief, many parents are focused on developing their kids’ writing skills in order to beef up their competence in and out of the classroom setting. Whether you choose homeschooling or traditional school system, buying write at home courses for kids is important to excel in academics of life so to speak.

  5. Emily Otoole says

    As parents, we should start thinking about teaching our kids to write at home. It is not only ideal but highly recommended to find where you can buy write at home for kids courses, this will further enhance their writing skills. Why summer is the perfect time to find write at home courses or programs for your kids in writing, well for one – the learning process seems more manageable during this time of the year.
