WHAT ARE TEACHERS SAYING ABOUT THESE EDITABLE NAME ACTIVITY MATS?
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"This is my favorite tool to use for my students who need to work on learning the letters in their name, how to write their name, and hold a pen. This is my favorite material ever! "- Maria R.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is one of my used resources in my classroom! I have used to for first names, last names, phone numbers, with vecro for matching, sticky tack so they can put the letters in a number of places and they remove them and write. The choices are endless and this year every one of my students are totally independent at their names and have moved on to using it for other words!!! Thank you! For use the most user friendly for making a whole class set at once as well!!! - Katherine M.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This worksheet for tracing names helped me be able to quickly provide a personalized writing activity for my students. I like the idea of using Velcro on both the last line and have separate letters for students to name and place in order….. I use it for letter identification, sounds, and developing fine motor skills. It was very well worth the price and simple to use! Thank you! - Cecelia W.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My students use these mats in word work time. I love that the students use different ways to make their name within the same activity. It is great practice for those who already know their name as well as those who are learning their name. I plan to use it again soon for students to learn their classmates' names! - Erin Moore
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My students loved this for practicing name recognition and order of letters in their names. Was a great resource to send home for parents to continue the practice over the summer - Deana B.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I used these for name recognition and name writing practice this month. Kids liked looking for their name and feel so proud to be able to write their name in class. Now, with the end of the school year, I am sending these home for summer practice. Thank you! - Carrie S.
