I wood burned letters on birch branches to work with Sarah. She is a young girl with lots of energy and my hope is that by her physically moving the letters together to form words she will begin to get a better understanding of how individual sounds come together to make the word. I crocheted up a little wool bowl to keep them in. It will be fun to create all kinds of word families for her.
Warm wishes, Tonya

You did a really nice job. It is a really great idea. I was a hands on kind of kid. So this would have been good for me.
ReplyDeleteGreat letters! I would love to buy a set and put magnets on the back for the fridge, so much cuter than the plastic ones.
ReplyDeleteBtw, did the newsletters go out?
lovely Tonya!
ReplyDeleteThose are adorable. Simple.
ReplyDeletelove this idea, tonya. we use wooden letters at our home too. i love how they feel when you hold them, and they are so sturdy and easy to keep clean. and throw on the floor sometimes too when it gets a little frustrating :) hope you have a lovely rest of your week.
