Spring, summer, autumn and winter word mats: a complete set of 4 seasons word mats with a difference - the words have the phonic digraphs/trigraphs highlighted in colour. This has three functions: The children learn to spell new words quicker when they recognise the sounds they have already been taught in words they have not used before. The spelling patterns they have already been taught are reinforced as they use the word mat. The children are delighted to see that many of the ‘new’ words, are words that they can sound out for themselves - when the sounds are highlighted for them! This is a tremendous confidence booster! It is suitable for all children but of great benefit to those with any special need that makes it hard for the child to have to transfer words from the board to their paper - it can sit right there on the desk making writing so much easier - inspiring confidence! They can also be used for display as some do.
