Stamping words engages the kinesthetic learner.

Stamping teaches one-to-one correspondence between the spoken and printed word.

Children love making their own "I can stamp and read" books

Children learn important sight words most efficiently through multisensory teaching-

singing and signing,
stamping and reading,
writing and writing and writing.
