Kindergarten Kit - Folder Style (2025 version)

The kit comes with a Magnetic-Receptive Whiteboard Folder and 40 of the most common grapheme magnet tiles.

This is an excellent tool to use as students are developing the neural pathway between the sound processor in the brain to the symbol processor in the brain. Hands-on spelling practice with explicit instruction and corrective feedback is the fastest way to pave this important pathway in the brain. 

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. 

We want the child to engage the sound processor as they touch and move the letter tiles. Instead of referring to the name of the letter, we encourage them to use the sound that the letter represents in that word.

Some sounds are continuants and we can produce those sounds until our breath runs out. The graphemes that represent those sounds are "m", "n", "s", "r", "v", "w", "sh", "h", "z", "wh" and all of the spellings of the vowel sounds. These are great ones for holding out the sound as they drag the tile to place it in a word. These are also fantastic sounds to place in the initial and middle place of short CVC words because the child can blend continuous sounds together more easily and develop the skill of blending.
