Front & back of cards
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.
