atomissz came up with the most creative tools and resources to make learning phonics hands-on, concrete, and engaging.
Here are some of her favorite tools:
š Magnetic wands and chips (Amazon) make it easy to blend and segment sounds to make words.
š Hand Clappers (Target Dollar Spot OR Amazon) are perfect for having students tap out the sounds to spell a word, or great for having them count syllables in a word. Possibilities with these are endless!
š Slinkies are always an all-time favorite! They help kids when trying to spell a word to streeeeeetch the word out slowly so that they hear all the sounds.
š Fun pointers (Target Halloween section, Dollar Store, Amazon) are popular for tracking print.
š Dry-erase markers and laminated Elkonin boxes for word mapping practice.
š Decoding flash cards
The caddy helps to keep small group reading organized and exciting!
