How to use the Christmas spelling mat

To make a reusable spelling mat you can laminate the printable and use it with wipeable marker pens.

Set the Christmas spelling mat out along with our Christmas tree alphabet cards or our Christmas bauble sight word cards.

Invite your children to pick a card, place it in the ‘say’ box, and read the letter / word out loud.

Then use a pen / pencil to copy the letter/ word in the ‘write’ box.

Finally, use play dough (try our candy cane play dough recipe or our gingerbread play dough recipe ) or pipe cleaners or letter-shaped fridge magnets to make letters to spell out your letter/ word in the ‘make’ box. This adds an extra sensory element to the practice, making it more memorable – and fun!
