Visually assess students' phonemic awareness and phonics skills with our easy-to-use Elkonin Box Magnetic Answer Boards! Elkonin boxes, also called sound boxes, allow students to segment words into individual sounds, or phonemes. These durable, double-sided answer boards provide a multisensory, tactile approach to literacy that prepares students to become confident readers by building phonemic awareness, phonics, and early literacy skills. Using colorful foam magnets, children will identify, find, and manipulate sounds, stretch out words into their sounds, and practice decoding. Pink heart magnets are provided for sounds in words that include unknown spelling patterns. This set includes magnetic foam circles to depict sounds, magnetic foam hearts to teach high-frequency words using the "heart-word" method, and a Getting Started Guide. Includes 6 Double-sided Elkonin Magnetic Answer Boards, 72 Magnetic Foam Circles, 18 Magnetic Foam Hearts, and 1 Getting Started Activity Guide.
