Work through one color band at a time, forward and backward. Ask which letter comes before or after a given letter within its row. The visual grouping of five or six letters per band is cognitively easier to work with than a single long sequence, which makes the rug a better teaching tool for sequencing than a standard grid layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications \u0026amp; Certifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%; padding: 6px 8px; font-size: 13px; color: #2a2a2a;\"\u003e• Exclusive SensoryEdge design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%; padding: 6px 8px; font-size: 13px; color: #2a2a2a;\"\u003e• Meets NFPA 253, Class 1 Firecode\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%; padding: 6px 8px; font-size: 13px; color: #2a2a2a;\"\u003e• Anti-static protection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%; padding: 6px 8px; font-size: 13px; color: #2a2a2a;\"\u003e• Carpet stain protection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%; padding: 6px 8px; font-size: 13px; color: #2a2a2a;\"\u003e• Assists in allergen particle control\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%; padding: 6px 8px; font-size: 13px; color: #2a2a2a;\"\u003e• CRI Green Label Plus certified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%; padding: 6px 8px; font-size: 13px; color: #2a2a2a;\"\u003e• Double-stitched serged edges\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%; padding: 6px 8px; font-size: 13px; color: #2a2a2a;\"\u003e• Not available at mass marketplaces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"SensoryEdge","offers":[{"title":"6' x 8'4","offer_id":42832862249022,"sku":null,"price":265.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"7'6 x 12'","offer_id":42832862281790,"sku":null,"price":365.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/0713\/files\/Pastel_Chalkboard_Alphabet_Rug.jpg?v=1779768615","url":"https:\/\/www.sensoryedge.com\/products\/pastel-chalkboard-alphabet-rug","provider":"SensoryEdge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
