Use these Build A Word mats in your literacy centers to help children master their spelling.
Learning to spell and read takes lots of work.
One of the many skills young children need to master to learn how to spell words correctly is the ability to identify individual sounds and then to be able to blend them together to form a word.
Being able to do this correctly is a phonological awareness skill most children are taught from kindergarten. Generally, most children are able to do this confidently and accurately by the end of grade two.
To help practice this skill, I've added these Build A Word mats to our literacy centre rotations.
