The kids sorted the words onto the “plates.” I let my daughter look through the words and cut out 6-10 of the

easiest words, the first day. She quickly made her way through the words. On subsequent days, she spent more

time on the more problematic words.

There are several pages of worksheets where the kids had to fill in the missing silent letter.
