We have been trying to improve creative writing in our school and so we asked the children what stops them from writing. Many found that it’s the thought of not spelling something correctly and taking time to phonetically spell the word, for many children this is frustrating. These word mats will help with writing fluency. 6 Word Mats are included -Farmyard -Seaside and The Coast -The Ocean -Monster Adjectives -Family -Transport Files are in black and white. Children may colour pictures. Word Mats can be slipped into plastic folders, this works really well.
