Kit: Folder & 80 Magnetic Tiles

You get a magnetic whiteboard folder paired with a set of 80 magnetic foam tiles. There are 79 grapheme tiles and 1 blank magnet tile.

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. 

Please Note:

Within the folder, we have intentionally built in extra holding spots:

The Extra Pink Spot

This can be used as a holding spot for teacher-created tiles for less common vowel graphemes such as:

“al” for /aw/ in words like: chalk, talk, walk

“augh” in caught, taught,

“oul” for /oo/ sound in would, should and could

“ough” for /ow/ /oe/ /oo/ /aw/ in drought, dough, through, thought

The Extra Black Spot

This can be used as a holding spot for teacher-created tiles for less common consonant spellings like:

“ve” for /v/ in serve, love, have

“me” for /m/ in some, come

“ne” for /n/ in none

“se” for /s/ or /z/ in house, choose, lose, moose

“le”  for /u +l/ in settle,

“ce” for /s/ in since, mince, rinse

“ci” for /sh/ in special

“si” for /sh/ /zh/ in mansion, vision

“ssi” for /sh/ in mission

”sc” for /s/ in scent, science, scissors, scenery 

”st” for /s/ in hustle, whistle, thistle
