DIY Workbook - Starter Fill in the Blanks

Here's another idea for a do it yourself workbook page - no need to spend money on practice books!!

I love the idea of fill in the blanks, but my son is a pre-writer, so I never get to use them.  He does, however, love to spell, so I wanted to try a different way and see if he would get the concept.

I wrote a simple word, tree, on the top of the page, and gave him the letters to glue in the right places below.  he got it, though he insisted some of the letters should go sideways:)  I think now that he has the concept I can do fill in the blanks in a more traditional layout, but use cut out letters since he cannot write them yet.  

I am thinking I will try out my first one with the titles of some of his favorite books (i.e. The _at in the _at).  

I'll post some variations after I try them out on my little guinea pig:)
