Lakeshore Learning Letter Crayon Word Building Centre

The Letter Crayon Word Building Centre adds a colourful, hands-on dimension to CVC word learning. Students select a double-sided card with a CVC word and matching image, then snap letter crayons into the crayon box to spell the word. With four durable plastic crayon boxes, 32 plastic crayons, and 24 self-checking cards, this set allows up to four students to work simultaneously. It strengthens early literacy skills by combining visual cues with tactile letter recognition. Perfect for reinforcing phonemic awareness, spelling, letter sounds and fine motor skills, this engaging activity invites repeated play and encourages independent and collaborative learning. The vibrant design and self-checking cards support correct spelling and boost learner confidence. Ideal for literacy centres, intervention sessions or classroom rotations.
