One of my favorite balanced literacy centers is our word work center - and it just got BETTER! Are you a believer in students being able to manipulate (which kinders think feels like play) to learn literacy? With this extension pack that builds on the skills developed in the original Playdough Word Work Pack, your students can get the hands-on literacy learning that playdough provides!

*Note: This product is intended for purchase in addition to the original pack. If purchased without, some items may not be as clear, nor complete. It is designed to extend the activities and skills previously covered.

Includes:

• addition to literacy center poster to include new activities, and bin/materials picture icon labels
• 88 sight word workmats (that students use to stamp the sight word and then roll out the letters in playdough to form the word) In addition to the original pack, you'll now have number words 1-10, the first 100 Fry high-frequency words and Pre-Primer Dolch words.
• 11 word building workmats focusing on changing sounds and identifying the new word made
