Accelerate your student's learning with All About Spelling Letter Tiles! The letters and letter combinations on the tiles correspond to the basic phonograms, making them the perfect manipulative for teaching spelling.
The phonogram tiles are color-coded for faster learning:
Consonants and consonant teams are blue.
Vowels and vowel teams are red.
Tiles representing the sound of /er/ are purple.
The remaining r-controlled vowels are yellow.
Tiles representing the sound of /sh/ are green.
And the apostrophe and ed are orange.
The five heading labels help you group your tiles on the table while you are teaching. Logically grouping the tiles makes them easy to locate during a spelling lesson and aids visual memory.
Each set contains 105 tiles—two each of letters a to z, one each of the remaining letter combinations, and five blank tiles.
Other features and benefits include:
The tiles glide smoothly on the table, making it easy to pull down letters, form words, and swap letters.
The 1” square size makes them easy for children’s hands to manipulate.
Tiles easily wipe clean.
The letter tiles and heading labels are printed on 8 1/2 x 11" laminated cardstock, ready for you to cut apart.
Affordable, so each student can have his or her own set.
Durable and designed to last through many years of use.
Because of the hands-on nature of All About Spelling, Nicholas is thoroughly enjoying it. He actually says, "Oh, good," when I say it’s time for a spelling lesson. He's told me more than once, as we stand at the magnetic dry erase board where we do the lessons, "I like when we do this." I've seen his spelling, and most importantly his understanding of spelling concepts, improve since we started this program.
The tiles are awesome!

We love All About Spelling, especially the colored tiles. They help cement the spelling of words for my daughter, who just plain never "got" spelling before!
Wonderful!

One of my boys, the one I most hoped this program would help with spelling (and reading), really likes working with the letter tiles! We were doing the step where you have them start with one word, then ask them to change out a letter to make the next word. He had so much fun that he started making up his own progressions. He just kept exchanging tile after tile to make more and more words! It was cool! He is also ADHD/ODD and very much a kinesthetic learner, so anything that gets him having fun and learning is good!

I have long wanted something phonogram-based like this. Our youngest child is at the point where he is making up all kinds of silly, long words and asking what they say. The letter
tiles make it so much easier for him to create pronounceable words. And the color-coding of the vowels makes it easier for him to remember to put a vowel in each syllable. These are great!
(A nice side benefit is that these phonogram tiles stick to the fridge better. I get so tired of fishing out those plastic letters with their wimpy
magnets from under the fridge!)
