Elkonin Box Floor Mat Activity Set

Hop, skip, or leap into reading with the Elkonin Box Floor Mat Activity Set! Students will love practicing early literacy skills and building phonemic awareness by moving their feet as they learn to connect the sounds in words to letters (orthographic mapping). The mat features an Elkonin Box and accommodates words with up to 6 sounds. Elkonin boxes—also known as sound boxes—allow students to segment words into individual sounds, or phonemes. Colorful circles and hearts allow students to identify, find, and manipulate sounds, segment words into phonemes, and take a hands-on approach to translating written words into speech. Provide a multisensory, kinesthetic approach to literacy that prepares students to become confident readers and spellers. Getting started guide includes 4 activities and a word list. Includes 1 6-Sound Elkonin Box Floor Mat, 12 Write-on/wipe-off Circles, 2 Write-on/wipe-off Hearts, and 1 Activity Guide.
