hand2mind Elkonin Box Magnetic Dry-Erase Board Set Phonemic Awareness Manipulative

Very Engaging

Great item for practicing decoding and encoding words. They wipe off very well and I love that they are magnetic. I often use them to place magnetic pictures down and have students sound the words out.

great for a classroom center

I ordered this set of dry erase boards to use in a small group in my classroom. They would also be beneficial to homeschoolers or tutors. They worked well and the marker totally erased on the board. The school year is almost over and they still look good. They are a bit pricey.

Fun and educational!

This is fun yet educational gift for the kiddos. It includes 8 boards providing your child the ability to practice with 2 to 5 letter words.

Great Learning Tool

This is a great learning tool. As an ENL and reading teacher, I teach phonemic segmentation. These wipe-off boards have boxes and a slider for students to segment sounds. I like the boxes because it enables students to segment each phoneme. The board is large so the student or the teacher can add a picture or write above the boxes. The slider is a great multisensory tool, especially for tactile learners. They can slide to each letter and then slide across the word to blend it. I will use this with my students at school and also with students whom I tutor. The price is a bit high for what you are getting. For that price, it should come with dry-erase markers, erasers, or some magnetic letters. Almost $60 for dry-erase boards is a bit high. I do like them and will make good use of them. They are sturdy and the boards are of good quality.

Magnetic board

We use this tool to teach our kiddos phonemic awareness.

The board is magnetic, which is great for kiddos who cannot entirely write letters. So instead of handwriting, the kiddos can use magnetic letters.

The slider can be a little hard to use (it sometimes gets stuck), but it’s an added benefit. Before these boxes, the kiddos would use their pointing finger to indicate the blending process. Now, the slider adds an interactive complement to learning.

It would be great if the set came with CVC pictures for the kiddos to try and spell. Overall, this is a functional tool for teaching reading skills.
