WHAT TEACHERS LIKE YOU ARE SAYING…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Anne U. says, “I recommend this product for the early review of letters, syllables, rhyming, CVC words and vowel sounds and early sentence identification. This product kept my students busy and they enjoyed doing the activities. This product gave them a break from the typical pencil and paper work and made the work a little more enjoyable. I will utilize this product again in the future.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jessica S. says, “I love that these are done by skill rather than by theme. I am excited to be able to find activities for rhyming (for example), that doesn’t have to be used at a specific time of year. I can’t wait to use them with my students this year.”
