My Students

Many students in my classroom are struggling with learning their letters and sounds. Having these manipulatives for them to see and touch will help them make the connection between seeing the letters in print and using them to describe the world around us.

My students are enthusiastic learners who appreciate the learning tools we have in the classroom.

They are always excited and engaged when they can see, touch and interact with the learning material. It is incredibly rewarding to work with such wonderful students who love to learn!

My Project

Alphabet Sounds Teaching Tubs provide a terrific, hands-on introduction to letters and their sounds! Each tub includes six irresistible miniatures that share the same beginning sound, making it easy to reinforce the letter -sound connection. All of the objects in the consonant tubs begin with simple consonant sounds (no blends). The vowel tubs include we both the short and long sound of each vowel. And for the letter X, which is encountered more often at the end of words and syllables than at the beginning, we've included miniatures representing both beginning and ending sounds. The set includes detailed instructions for engaging activities my students are sure to enjoy.

Learning letter and sounds is the foundation for learning to read.

Our goal is to use these tubs to first teach letters and sounds, and then teach reading, writing and phonemic awareness. The colorful manipulatives will engage all learners and reinforce the connection between the classroom and the outside world.
