o Customizable Board Games are available for students to engage in sound-spelling activities aimed at consolidating phonics skills.
o Elkonin Sound Boxes and Counter Sound Boxes. These materials are intended to support phonemic identification in words as well as phoneme manipulation (e.g., adding, subtracting, and substituting sounds). o Magnetic Letter Tiles and Trays are provided and allow students to build words. These are color-coded to help reinforce letters ‘roles within a word (vowels are red, and consonants are black) and are broken into two sets. Simple words can be built with Set 1: Consonants and Vowels, while more complex words can be built with Set 2: Blends, Digraphs, and Vowel Teams.
o Connecting Sound Cubes are provided to support phonological awareness and can be used by students to build words sound-by-sound.
o Letter-sounds flash cards are provided and used during Alphabet and Phonics Lessons to support helping students build connections between a sound and its printed letters (i.e., letter-sound correspondence).
o Uppercase and Lowercase Alphabet Cards are provided that contain a print letter and a representative image corresponding to the letter’s sound.
o Mirrors are provided for students who need additional support during articulation practice.
o Articulation Cards and Videos are provided which can be used to support students in pronouncing each of the 44 sounds of English. Each card shows the mouth position for a particular sound and is accompanied by a QR code that links to an articulation video. Teachers are also provided with directions on how to model and describe to students the movements required to produce a sound.
o Skill-based Activity Books are provided where students play games and complete activities to practice the skills being taught.
