Classroom Set of 24 Folder/80-tile Cut-Apart Magnet Kits (scissors required)

24  kits 

Each student gets a fully whiteboard-covered magnetic thin folder with a sheet of 80 durable, waterproof grapheme tiles that can be cut apart with scissors. 

This Classroom Set is Perfect for Whole Group instruction to increase capability and confidence in phonology, orthography and morphology in readers and writers.

Open, the folder measures 12 x 18 inches. The back cover has handwriting guidelines and is great space for dictation sentence practice or for providing structured practice when you give the kids a multisyllabic word to chunk into syllables as they attempt to spell it.

Closed, the folder measures 9 x 12 inches. It can be stored (with the strong magnet tiles still inside it) in a zipper pouch, a cubby, banker’s box or whatever works for you.

As students participate in word chaining sessions they increase in phonemic discrepancy. Changing “turn” into “burn” into “barn” into “bark” helps students to listen and focus in on the phoneme level of words.

Focusing on the spelling patterns of various sounds increases orthographic development. We hear the /sh/ sound in many words. It can be represented by “sh”, “ch”,“ti” and even “ci” at times.

With the whiteboard surface, even if a tile is not available,  the student can write in the spelling pattern required.

Additionally, students can write in an unlimited number of prefixes and suffixes when required as they increase in skill and knowledge level. The outer surface of the folder can be used to practice letter writing formation and fluency.
