Pegs and Grid Lesson


Materials:
pegs and grid
spelling words group A

  1. Place a group A card directly in front of the grid. 
  2. Using the card as a guide, have your son form the letters of the word, placing one peg at a time on the grid. 
  3. Have him say each letter as he is placing the pegs.

    Some pegs can be ironed and fused together if he wants to keep the word (like his name or a particularly difficult word that he is proud that he mastered).
