I LOVE this alphabet set! It comes with multiple uppercase and lowercase letters that are color coded. It also has a magnetic board perfect for reviewing specific letters one at a time. As teachers, we love to stay organized, so it’s great that this comes with a storage case that can lay flat or on its side. You can grab it here!
These boards are a favorite in my classroom! I keep a set of 6 right at my small group table. We use them for word make and break and writing tasks.
They come in a pack of six, and not only are they solid and sturdy, but one side of the board has lines that allow your students to practice handwriting! The other side of the board is blank and can be used in multiple subject areas, including math! You can grab them here!
These are perfect for phonemic awareness building! Students can put a counter down for each sound they hear in a word and then use the wand to pick up the sounds to blend them! For example, for the word ‘stir’, have your students sound out the word. Then, put down a chip for each sound (st-ir) and reblend them together as they wave the wand over each chip! This is a super fun interactive game that can be done in small groups or literacy centers.

Easy way to build words at my teacher’s table! The blocks are colored based on the function of the letters. For example, vowels are red, consonants are blue and silent ‘e’ is white. Another added feature is an activity book filled with helpful information that will tell you the best ways to use this manipulative. You can grab them here!
I cannot say enough great things about these pouches. If you are looking for a perfect product for storage and organization, this is your answer! I use these to store groups of activities- like all my winter-themed centers go in one large pouch.

These pocket charts are my absolute favorite! They are versatile and can be used in many ways! I use mine to display our spelling words for the week. You can also use them for phonemic awareness activities, sentence building, sight word practice, or even poetry!

Early in my teaching career, I didn’t have the proper organization for small group lessons, and I had paper piles everywhere. I think it’s safe to say I often spent too many hours looking for what I needed until I tried these drawer organizers! They became a game changer.
