Early Learning Teaching Your Child to Read

I came across this clip on Youtube, by soundreaders, discussing the use of SPELLING STICKS.

I found them on Amazon,

It’s basically icecream sticks with a letter written on the top of each!
You get this (Includes 45 wooden Spelling Sticks: 3 of each vowel, 2 of commonly doubled consonants and 1 of least common consonants) in your amazon purchase.

How easy would that be to make!!! ($1 or $2 of plain icypole sticks at a craft or discount shop…bingo, you’ve made your own manipulatives.)
