I like to use this book with either letter tiles, dry erase boards, or pencil paper notebooks. This book tells the teacher word for word how to teach students to sound out words phoneticly.
example: 1. spell the word at like "we are at the park".
2. Add a letter and spell the word cat. There is a cat in my house.
3. Take the c away and spell the word sat. He sat on the sofa.
4. Take the t away and spell the word sag. Don't let your pants sag.
5. Now lets do a trick, move the letters around to spell the word gas. We put gas in our cars.
One of the reason I like to use the alphabet mat, is that studies show that childrens ability to read letters quickly and place them in alphabetical order quickly is tied to their reading success.
tip: the first book is for K-2, their is an older version written for 3rd-5th graders that focuses on preffixes and suffixes.
