Practice sorting with ready-to-use, durable Word Sort Mats! This set includes 5 double-sided mats and 200 photographic cards, which are perfect for closed sorts. The mats measure 11" x 17", presenting a large space on which to manipulate the photographic cards or write words. The mats are a perfect fit for any desk or large table.
Each mat has a two-column chart on its front and a three-column chart on the reverse side. Versatile format is great for differentiating instruction and provides diverse sorting options. Photographic cards have a real-life image on one side and a printed word on the reverse so that students can sort by either the picture or the word. Pictures feature the following concepts and characteristics for sorting: beginning letters, long or short vowels, blends, word families, compound words, color, shape, and more!
Mats are write-on/wipe-off, so students can add any additional words that come to mind. Write on mats with a dry- or wet-erase marker. Clean off marks with a damp cloth, but do not saturate the mats with water. Using too much water will ruin the mats. Store the mats in the sturdy box provided to keep them in good condition.
Suggested Activities
•For closed sorting activities, tell students what they should be looking for by writing the characteristic in
each column. Then, let the group use the images to sort by picture or word.
