Students tap, map, and write sounds to build words, then wipe and try again. \r\n\r\nRight now, our class is focusing on short vowel word families and high-frequency words. The boards allow every child to practice at the same time, making learning hands-on, interactive, and fun. As we move forward, my students will continue using these boards to strengthen decoding, spelling, and writing skills, which are the foundation for becoming confident readers.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students this incredible resource.
