Description
Our fun-to-use sorting mats make it easy for kids to identify beginning sounds! Children just select an activity mat, then find 3 picture tiles that match the sound on the train’s engine. Plus, each tile is double-sided, with a picture on one side and both a picture and word on the other—so kids can sort at just the right level! Set includes 20 activity mats and 60 chipboard tiles. Mats measure 4" x 12".

Great for train loving son

January 22, 2025 - By Kyra

My son is in Pre-K and is often reluctant to learn. He loves trains though and was so excited to do this activity. It keeps him engaged while reinforcing letter sounds.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Great for stations

August 13, 2024 - By Nicolefrom Kent, WA

Learning Express!

July 10, 2024 - By D Bollingfrom Hernando, FL

Love this activity. We use it as a morning activity as students move from one activity to the next. We put out four or five trains and pass out the cards to be filled in. Quick and easy assessment, and time for a little one on one teaching.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Great center activity!

The Best Game!

June 08, 2023 - By Breana Cabralfrom Ellington, CT

My students love playing this game and want to keep playing. I wish this included all beginning sound trains so that kids could practice all of the letter sounds.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Perfect way to extend learning

May 26, 2023 - By Jessica Bernardfrom Green Bay, WI

My kindergarten students loved using these materials in a station to practice their initial sounds. They really helped students use their sound knowledge to sort the pictures on to the correct train.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

July 23, 2022 - By Kristen Lanhfrom Richmond, VA

Excellent learning tool, even at home. My three-year old loves this. I make the train make the sound of the letter once we fill all the spaces and it chugs away (so the h train goes huh, huh, huh, huh , huh, huh, huh and the b says buh buh buh in the rhythm of a chugging train.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Only 20 letters

August 22, 2020 - By Jodie Van zanten

It doesn't have the vowels? Why doesn't it have the vowels? That doesn't make any sense to me. Wish I looked closer before I bought it. I like the toy just wish it had all 26 letters.

Yes, I would recommend this product.
