Spelling Stones

During our Great Garage Clean-Out, I found a bag of glass stones, which I thought would be great for a spelling game for Arin.  So yesterday, I wrote each of the letters of the -at words on the stones.  Today, I gave Arin the stones and told her the words to spell.  She sounded the words out and spelled them with the stones.  Once she spelled a couple of words, she was able to do them quickly, because she knew the pattern - they all end in -at!  This was an easy, successful game!
