Challenge students by leaving letters out of a word and asking students to complete the word with the correct letter cards. Spell common sight words or spelling word lists.
Introduce simple words to preschoolers and kindergartners. Expand to 1st grade words or even 2nd grade vocabulary. Watch your studentsโ phonemic awareness and reading skills improve with practice on this material. Best of all, movement-based learning will boost young studentsโ comprehension and memory retention while also improving motor skills.

Materials: Our regular floor mats are made from heavy-duty vinyl. They are easy to clean, durable, and long-lasting. Some teachers have used their mats for over 10 years! Laminated Floor Mats combine the power of our heavy-duty vinyl material with dry-erase laminate. The laminate works well with a dry-erase marker and can be cleaned easily.
Includes: 8 blocks for building words. The regular floor mat includes 48 letter cards. The laminated mat does not include cards as it is intended to be used with dry-erase markers.

This mat makes learning fun and is so versatile! It’s perfect for kids of all ages. My 7 and 9 year-old enjoyed practicing their spelling words in an active, engaging way. Best of all, the knowledge stuck! I used the mat with my younger children to practice identifying letters and letter sounds and they were reading words and smiling all along. The mat adapted perfectly to the needs of all.
