The literacy center runs on one laminated mat a child works with letter tiles, magnets or a dry-erase pen. These nine cover a CVC word-building mat, a beginning-sound sort and a sentence-building strip, each in three finishes. Ask for a different skill and the same mat format carries it.

Frequently asked questions

What size do these print at?
Each mat is composed landscape at a clean letter/A4-friendly crop, ready to print and laminate.
Can I get a different skill, like blends or sight words?
Yes — the direction field takes any literacy skill, and the same mat format renders it.
Do I need letter tiles or magnets to use these?
The mats are designed around loose pieces — tiles, magnets or dry-erase markers — which aren't included; any set your classroom already has will work.
Are these editable, or is the layout fixed?
Each mat is a finished printable image, not an editable template — the blank spaces are built for a child to fill with physical pieces or a marker.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
