Wooden Box Resources for Level 2
Recommended Wooden Box Resources to use with the Family Feast Reading Programs
These high quality resources, made from laser cut wood, make reading, spelling and maths fun!
By being able to build the words with physical letters, makes it so much easier for children to be able to visualize how words are made up. Sounds, made up of more than one letter demonstrate to children who are learning to read and write how the sounds are made – making spelling that much easier.
