Thick Foldable whiteboard with a magnetic sheet of 80 grapheme cut apart tiles.

Open, the whiteboard measures 12 x 18 inches. The blank white side 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. It can be stored (with the strong magnet tiles still inside it) in a zipper pouch, a cubby, banker’s box or whatever works for you.

This is a perfect tool to increase capability and confidence in phonology, orthography and morphology in readers.

As students participate in word chaining sessions, they improve in phonemic discrepancy. Changing “turn” into “burn” into “barn” into “bark” helps students to listen and focus in on the phoneme level of words.

Focusing on the spelling patterns of various sounds develops orthographic mapping in the brain. We hear the /sh/ sound in many words. It can be represented by “sh”, “ch”,“ti” and even “ci” at times. Spelling requires much more rigorously established memory of letter patterns than reading. Reading requires orthographic recognition, but spelling requires orthographic recall and application. For typical reading students, 20 minutes daily is required. For students who struggle and need more practice to develop orthographic mapping, you'd want to increase word work/spelling instruction and practice to 30 minutes a day.

With the higher quality whiteboard surface, even if a tile is not available, the student can write in the spelling pattern required.

Additionally, students can write in an unlimited number of prefixes and suffixes when required as they increase in skill and knowledge level. The outer surface of the folder can be used to practice letter writing formation and fluency.
