Sound boxes are an excellent way to teach young students to read and spell CVC words. Utilizing sound boxes helps students begin to segment and isolate the sounds in a word, helping break the process of spelling down into more manageable pieces. I LOVE doing sound boxes on our dry erase boards for several reasons - (1) EVERYONE is engaged - everyone is spelling; (2) it provides an excellent way for me to get a quick idea of who is understanding the concept (e.g., the short a sound, beginning sounds, ending sounds) and who still needs support. |

I love teaching kindergarten literacy at STEM! It is amazing to be a part of the reading and writing growth of a kindergarten student. You get to see kids move from knowing some letters and sounds to being enthusiastic readers and young authors. Archives
