Instructions for Making Stamps

While downloading the sounds as a font for use on your computer may be helpful, the actual Reading Program kit contains three sets of 44 sound-stamps. No sets of stamps are currently available for sale. However, if you wish to have sets of stamps made for home or classroom use, the fonts themselves are already in the "camera-ready artwork" form required for manufacturing rubber stamps. To have a set or sets of stamps made, simply print one of each of the sounds onto a piece of white paper and take the paper to a stamp-maker. Stamp-makers can be found through a Google search of the phrase "rubber stamps". The font size used to produce the sets of stamps that are included in the Reading Program kit is 72. You may use this font size, or any size that suits your needs. To keep your costs to a mimnimum, you can have a single sheet of rubber produced from the one page of paper and then cut and mount the separate sounds onto pieces of wood.

Permission is granted for producing as many sets of stamps as you need for your teaching purposes. Stamps thus produced may not be marketed for resale.
