Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
📘 How is word building different from just learning sight words?
Word building helps children understand the systematic nature of our language. Rather than memorizing whole words, they learn how sounds combine to create words—a skill that transfers to reading unfamiliar words independently.
📘 Can my child use this without constant supervision?
Yes! The word cards include pictures and sentences, so children can check their own work. Kids can match their built words to the picture cards for self-checking.
📘 What if I already have magnetic letters?
Perfect! The mats are designed to work with standard magnetic letters. The included printable tiles are an option for those who don't have magnetic letters or want matching themed pieces.
📘 At what reading stage should we start using these mats?
These work best for children who know most letter sounds and are beginning to blend them together—typically children ages 4-7 who are at the emerging reader stage.

Let customers speak for us
from 60 reviewsBeautiful, engaging, and a great tool for helping my children get interested in reading in a way that isn't overwhelming or dry,

Such a super convenient way to take our reading lessons on the go!! I downloaded them onto my tablet, and now we can do our reading at the park or at grandparents houses without risking the paper readers getting torn up!!

These are great! My students really enjoyed using Rubberbands to make letters.

Es un gran material, me encanta!

My Grandson was thrilled when I brought the cards home. We laminated the pages and he spent hours with a dry erase marker...writing and rewriting. Thank you so much for sharing!

The his was a nice hands on activity to work on learning letters. It is a nice change from writing or coloring.

I'm using mine with cardboard to do the letters and punching out the holes so my granddaughter can use them for sewing her numbers and letters.
Very useful svgs!!!

Easy to make and appealing to kids to create letters they have learned about all year.

I think theses cards are a cool concept to help kids not only learn how to write their letters but to recognize them also.

Since starting reading better together kit my daughter has already grown in leaps and bounds, been able to letter blend better and read words with little help. This is such a brilliant start to and incredible reading journey x
Love this bundle! Especially for my early reader! Tons of great materials to use all summer long!
