I sent a description of the kinds of activities that would support students. I encouraged parents to purchase inexpensive sets of magnetic letters (bought them myself and resold them) and sent the chunks on sentence strips that could be taped to fridge. We talked about how to play with words, making lists to see how many words could be made. We talked about making words with the letters, then scrambling them and putting them back in order. We talked about dictation and writing words. We talked about collecting words with the chunk inside them. I encouraged parents to consider purchasing a game called UpWords.
