Directions:

Encourage the child to choose a sight word card and place it on the included mat (pg. 16). They can then practice spelling the sight word by building it using magnet letters or the included candy letter tiles.

However, these sight word cards can be used in a variety of ways!

While the mats and letter tiles are included, don't let that limit the way you use them. Here are a few ideas we love to do!

• Sensory bins
• Playdough
• Shaving cream
• Magnet letters
• Salt/sand trays
• rainbow write
• stamping
• matching (print 2 copies)
• Write the room
