Letters & Sounds Phonics Kit

Letter-sound knowledge is the foundation of the Word Recognition strand of Scarborough's Reading Rope — the skills that let children crack the alphabetic code and begin decoding print. This Montessori kit takes children through phonemic awareness, letter-sound correspondence, and phonetic word-building in clear structured steps.

What's Included

Choose print or cursive font.

• Teacher Curriculum/Lesson Plans — step-by-step guidance for classroom use.
• Letter-Sound Charts: 21 consonants, 5 vowels, and 17 digraphs, double-sided with an iconic photo and exemplar words on the back. 
• Self-Correcting 3-Part Letter-Sound Cards: 21 consonants, 5 vowels, and 17 digraphs, matching letters to key-sound pictures with built-in control of error for independent practice.
• Traditional and Digraph Movable Alphabets plus Pocket Charts for traditional short vowel and consonant sounds and digraph sounds (ai, ch, ee, sh, th, and more) and one berry pink pocket chart and one green pocket chart
• Phonetic Picture Cards: For writing inspiration

Add-on cloth pouches

Alphabet pocket charts are included in the kit but you can add-on more cloth pouches to make it easy for children to find the materials they need and to organize the learning environment:

• One cerulean blue cloth pouch for letter-sound charts
• One berry 3-pocket cloth pouch for 3-part letter sound cards
• One small pink pouch for phonetic level 1 picture cards
• One small blue pouch for phonetic level 2 picture cards

Eco-made in the USA. CPSIA compliant. 

How this kit builds literacy skills:

Step 1: Phonemic Awareness

• Engage in playful "I Spy" sound games using classroom objects and picture cards (included), encouraging phoneme isolation ("I spy something that starts with /b/"). This builds auditory discrimination skills.
• Progressive game levels systematically develop skills to isolate beginning, middle, and ending sounds, gradually advancing to phoneme segmentation. These activities enhance phonological processing.
  

Step 2: Learn Letter-Sounds

• Use letter charts to introduce the key sound for each letter/digraph
• Use self-correcting 3-part cards to practice applying this new knowledge; match consonant, short vowel, and digraph sounds with corresponding pictures. The control of error built into the card design promotes independent learning.
  

Step 3: Practice Building Words

• Use the movable alphabets to practice phonetically building words. Can also be used for segmenting, blending, and substitution activities, promoting phonological awareness and pre-reading skills.
• Multiple movable letter/digraph tiles in the alphabets let students start phonetically building words without needing to cross out or erase.
