Perfect for Foundation, Year 1, Year 2, and SEN learners, this resource makes literacy rotations simple, engaging, and effective. Just print, add letter tiles, play doh or magnetic letters, and go!

I have used this in my classroom many times and the students know how to use the boards and the boards provide easy differentiation. I use these in literacy rotations but you could also use them as an engaging early morning activity once the students know how to use them. My students love them as the activities are hands on. I vary the manipulative available, such as making words out of play doh, using magnetic tiles, wooden letters and so forth!
