Who else loves spending summer weekends camping with your family and friends? Spending summer days and nights at the campground or even in a tent in the backyard. Some of the best memories are made while camping. That is the inspiration behind this Camping CVC Mat set. Pre k, kindergarten, and first grade students will have fun with this camping themed activity for learning sight words.
Sight Words Mat
Many children learn CVC words first, after their name. These words make up the core of the English language, so it is important to me to teach them to my kids. It is also important to make sure they are having fun while learning. Often times, the element of fun helps motivate kids to learn.
One way to make sure an activity is engaging and fun is to use a theme that is relevant. Camping, roasting marshmallows and enjoying nature things that kids (and adults) are excited about when summer comes around!

Whether you are a parent, teacher, or homeschooler – you will love this hands on way for kids to practice sounding out words, reading readiness, and spelling. Use this as summer learning, supplemental activity, and centers. This is perfect for preschoolers, kindergartners, and grade 1.
Camping Printables
There are a few ways that this Camping CVC Sight Word Mat can be used. This printable activity comes with three different mats, as well as printable alphabet tiles.
One option is to laminate the alphabet tiles and both of the CVC mat. This is optional, but it will most likely extend the life of the activity. If you are a classroom teacher, this is a great way to make it last in your literacy center.
If your child is just beginning to learn CVC words, you can provide a list of words for them to copy with the CVC mat and alphabet tiles. If your child is more advanced, you can speak the word and ask them to find the letters and spell out the words on the mat.
If you laminate the CVC mat, you can use a dry erase marker to write the CVC word you want your child to spell. This CVC Sight Word Mat is perfect for helping children practice sight words in an engaging way with a fun summer theme!
