What supplies will I need for this phonics literacy center? I strived to make these phonics mats as low prep as possible! You will need to laminate them and then add: cubes or counters, magnetic letters, and a dry erase marker.

This is a predictable literacy center! You only have to explain it once because the activity stays the same. If your students are ready for more detective mats in more skills, the transition will be easy for them.
