February Heart Writing Strips Free Download – Phonics Mapping and Word Writing Practice

This February Heart Writing Strips Free Download includes hands-on, phonics-based writing strips designed to strengthen sound mapping, decoding, and spelling skills. Students pull a writing strip, say the word, count the sounds, map each sound into the heart boxes, and write the matching word.

These writing strips are organized by phoneme rather than letters, supporting Science of Reading instruction. For example, digraphs such as sh are mapped into a single heart, helping students accurately represent speech sounds. The heart theme adds a seasonal February touch while keeping the focus on foundational phonics skills.

These writing strips work well across multiple instructional settings and support students as they progress from basic word building to more complex phonics patterns.

Ideas for use:
• Use during small-group phonics instruction for targeted skill practice
• Add to February literacy centers for independent word mapping
• Incorporate into intervention groups for phonics reinforcement
• Use in morning tubs or early finisher activities
• Send home for additional February phonics practice
