Hands On Tools
Students love learning about phonics with our Letter Tile Sets.
This multisensory activity helps them master the following concepts:
- Spelling patterns
- Suffixes
- Trigraphs
- Digraphs
- Spelling variants for consonants and vowel sounds
- Spelling variants for r-controlled vowels
We offer our letter tiles in several sizes to help fit your needs:
- Small Letter Tiles are designed for individual student use. They come in several varieties with our most popular set being our Student Phonics Kit.
- Large Letter Tiles are designed for teacher modeling in whole class or large group instruction and can be used with any phonics-based reading materials.
Both Small and Large Letter Tiles arrive organized and labeled in sturdy plastic carrying cases. Both sizes also come in two sets:
- Box One for beginning phonics instruction.
- Box Two for more advanced phonics instruction. Box Two tiles extend Box One’s range of phonics instruction and are not intended for use without Box One tiles.
Letter Tiles Online are designed to enhance teaching and learning in a wired classroom environment, such as a classroom equipped with an interactive whiteboard, or an LCD projector, or in any computer based learning environment.
I am doing Boost with a 3rd grader…. At first his accuracy scores flat lined below 90%. Now they are usually in the Way to Go section. [I] showed his mom the history of his chart. [It] was powerful....right around September you could see a huge jump. They had parent conferences in November. For the first time ever, she had wonderful reports of how well [her son] is doing. [We] were high fiving each other and "dancing round the kitchen."
