This word mat is to aid in the teaching and learning of sounds and tricky words in phase 3. Each letter is accompanied by a relevant picture, to give children visual cues to help them learn each letter sound. Each group is represented in a different colour, so that it is easy to focus on the letter sounds being learnt. Also on the word mat are the five tricky words from phase 2, and the 12 tricky words from phase 3 for the children to learn, some with accompanying pictures to aid memory.
The word mat has been made using Sassoon primary font, and is an Adobe file (PDF). If you do not have this on your computer, it is freely downloadable from http://www.adobe.com/  
 All you need to do is print off and laminate as many times as you want.
