Description
Over 200 Elkonin Boxes Printables with real pictures for 2, 3, 4 and 5 Phoneme Segmentation and Blending. Also called sound boxes, these cards teach phonemic awareness skills like phoneme segmentation, segmenting words, and blending sounds. They are a kindergarten Science of Reading blending and segmenting activity perfect for word mapping, too!
Elkonin boxes are excellent hands-on phonological awareness tools that help young children learn to segment words into individual sounds and blend sounds into words.
Easily Differentiate Your Phonemic Awareness Activities
These colour-coded cards include words with 2, 3, 4, and 5 phonemes. If your children struggle to segment and blend three phonemes, start with two. This will reduce their cognitive load.
Once they have mastered two and three phonemes, you can move on to four and five-phoneme words.
Over time, visual aids like the boxes and pictures can be phased out to encourage your students to blend and segment words independently.
Use These Cards All Year
At the start of the year, children will build phonemic awareness skills by orally segmenting and blending words. They select a card, name the picture, and segment each sound in the word as they slide a counter into each box on the card.
Then they can blend all the sounds back together as they move their finger, from left to right, on the arrow provided.
When your students are ready for phonics, use these cards again for word mapping activities. Children name the picture and break it down into sounds (phonemes), writing the letter or group of letters that make each sound.
They could use letter tiles or magnetic letters to make the words too.
Children can then blend the letters together to read and spell the word.
