While browsing the Internet one day I came across a fun way to practice letter sounds, words, and spelling. It is very simple to make and only took about 5 minutes to write the letters, and 10 minutes to cut some holes. If you have a square hole punch for scrapbooking it would take even less time. I can't wait to try it out. Here is the site where I found the directions. The materials I used were a utility knife, or exacto knife, paint sample cards, and a black permanent marker.
