How to Use the Making Words Template

Slide 1: Type the lesson number or Month at the top of the slide.

Slide 2: V tiles are for vowels, C tiles are for consonants. Highlight the letter in the tile and type your desired letter. If you need more tiles, copy and then paste the appropriately colored tile as many times as necessary. If you have extra tiles, just click on them and press delete.

Slide 3: Click in each box and type the words that are made in the lesson. Copy and paste for more word tiles, delete unnecessary word tiles. (If a word is longer than the box, move your mouse to a side until you get the double arrow. Click and drag to resize the box.) Slide 4 and 5: To get the letter tiles on the top of slide 4 and 5, go back to slide 2 and select all the tiles by holding down the shift key while clicking on each box. Then copy all selected boxes (CTRL-C or click on the 2 pieces of paper next to the scissors on the top menu).
