4 Pebble Word Building Trays Set of 6

Support children's progression from simple CVC words to more complex spellings with these 4 Pebble Word Building Trays. Crafted from sustainable FSC-certified beech wood, they feature four compartments perfect for constructing CCVC, CVCC, and CVVC words using alphabet pebbles or letter tiles. The attractive natural wood finish makes literacy tasks inviting, while the tactile format enhances phonological awareness and spelling fluency skills. With six trays in a pack, small groups can explore increasingly complex word structures, working collaboratively or independently. The trays provide a smooth transition from simpler word work to advanced phonics, encouraging confidence and deeper understanding of letter patterns and word structures.
