Tool or toy?? That is the question!!! Pop its are high interest commodities right now and finding a way to use them in the classroom helps create a high interest activity. Students will say the sounds of the given word and then pop each sound on their Pop-it. This can be a purely oral activity or it can be used in combination with writing where the students will pop the sounds and then write the word on their whiteboard. Not only are students finding ways to make phonics fun but they are also using the tactile, kinesthetic modality when sounding out words. As students say each sound and pop a bubble they are also making the letter sound connection. With the original function of the Pop it being for attention, using the pop its in phonics will further help students focus to sound out each part of the word.
