Directions:

Copy the enlarged peanut butter and jelly sandwich layer cake pictures for each student on card stock. Allow student to color the pictures if possible, but make sure the grape jelly is a shade of purple. The actual coloring of the picture is not necessary; it is a matter of preference. Copy the letters provide on colored card stock weight paper. A different color for each student can sometimes be helpful. Also, I used the small plastic disk holders and attached strips of Velcro inside for student to store their letters. Laminate and place a small piece of Velcro on the sandwich, cake and back of letters. Place 4 squares of Velcro as illustrated along dotted line. (1 square in the bread, the peanut butter, the jelly and the final bread, in the cake, crunchy filling, cake and frosting)

Procedure

Follow sequence from Stevenson Spelling Manuals. If students make a mistake, simply say, "Your brain played a trick on you." Allow student to remove incorrect letters and try again. When using this type of manipulative, all students must remove all letters each time before beginning a new word.
