Activity Instructions

Say three letter sounds (that create a word from the mat) and have a student find the matching letters that would make those sounds. Then, have them jump on the letters they think and say the word they made. For example, if you say, “mmm”, they will find the ‘M’ on the mat. You say the short e sound, they find the ‘e’ card and place it on the mat. Then say, ‘t.’ They find the ‘T’ card and place it on the third square on the mat. Then, the student jumps the letters and says “m-e-t, met.”
