Need help with students who struggle segmenting words? Do you have kiddos who have trouble blending or dictating? The no-prep, easily reusable Elkonin box mats can provide support to your students! For 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 phoneme words. Additionally, there are work mats for segmenting and writing 2 and 3 syllable words as well. Slip them in a dry-erase pocket and have kids write words or use letter tiles right on the boxes.

This ABC chart includes upper and lower case letters with a picture that begins with the sound. The names of the pictures correlate with Cathy Angel's Making Reading Heavenly sound moves. Additionally, this chart can be used in small group Kindergartens lessons as mentioned in the Pre-A section of Jan Richardson's Next Steps in Guided Reading.

Learning letter names and sounds can be difficult for many beginning kindergartners. In Jan Richardson's book The Next Steps in Guided Reading, she saw amazing results from kindergartners tracing the letters and saying the names and sounds for a few minutes each day. Print-your-own tracing book with pictures similar to Making Reading Heavenly's sound moves.

Get your young learners involved in tracking their own progress! Confer one-on-one with students, and as they correctly identify the letter name or sound (you decide), they can color it in. Great for data collection for conferences or student problem solving meetings.
