Why you'll love this product
-
Connecting pieces
Connecting tiles let children build and rebuild words by joining letters, then take words apart and try new combinations during guided phonics practice.
-
Colour coded letters
Blue consonants and red vowels give children a clear visual distinction between letter groups during practical phonics activities and early years literacy sessions.
-
Two letter formats
Uppercase letters appear on one side and lowercase on the other, helping children recognise letter forms during early years literacy activities and phonics practice.
-
Balanced letter selection
This supports varied word-building practice through a carefully balanced letter selection: five of each vowel and a greater number of commonly used letters.
-
Key Stage 1 spelling
In Key Stage 1 English phonics, children connect letters to spoken sounds and build words containing taught GPCs, applying phonic knowledge when decoding.
Connecting word building tiles
Double-sided letter tiles that connect to build words.
Overview
Use connecting phonics tiles for initial sound activities and practical early spelling practice with children in literacy sessions.
Hands-on word building turns phonics practice into a practical literacy task. The seventy-five connecting tiles let several children form words at once, while five of each vowel and more commonly used letters support repeated combinations. Each 6 cm tile uses 100% recycled material.
Within Key Stage 1 English phonics, practitioners can use the tiles to apply phonic knowledge when decoding words. Children select and connect letters, then articulate the sounds shown. Uppercase on one side and lowercase on the other links visual symbols with spoken sounds during guided initial-sound activities.
Reading practice can focus on blending unfamiliar words containing taught GPCs. Children build a word, blend its sounds and check the result, while exploring alternative sounds for taught graphemes. Blue consonants and red vowels provide a visual distinction for early years phonics games.
