Need more ideas for your word work or literacy stations? Try these s blends stamping centers and watch your students have fun while they’re learning! Multiple formats will help you differentiate for varied needs in your students or keep your stamping center fresh and engaging for weeks!

What are the benefits of a stamping center?

Unlike many resources where your students are tracing or copying words, these stamping worksheets require students to really think about the letters and sounds of every word they are working with. Stamping centers also provide fine motor practice.

What will my students be doing in this center?

Each set includes 1 page for each beginning blend and 7 pages of mixed S blend practice.

Set One: students identify six pictures, trace the s blend word, and stamp the beginning blend

Set Two: students identify and color six pictures, trace the beginning blend, stamp the beginning blend, and write the word

Set Three: students identify six s blends pictures, stamp the beginning blend in the boxes, and write each word on the line

Will my students become bored using similar worksheets?

No! In fact, using similar worksheets throughout the year will give your students confidence in their work and eliminate questions about how to complete their work.

Each stamping center in my store comes with three types of worksheets, allowing you to vary the practice if you are working on a particular phonics skill for a long time.

What kind of stamps do I need?

Any set of alphabet stamps that are smaller than one inch will work. I use the Melissa and Doug stamps, but you will find many options available through retailers such as Amazon.

Should this be used as its own center or as part of word work?

I incorporated these worksheets into the word work options for students, because I used thematic monthly centers for your daily literacy stations. However, these would work well as an independent center.

Do you have more phonics resources?

Absolutely! I have many worksheets, centers, and more available in my store. Check out my word work category to learn more about what else I offer.
