Very useful text that helps develop phonemic and phonological awareness in beginning readers. Adapted for Kindergarten, the letter tiles are made into letter cards the children wear. I think they will love this!

Honestly, I felt this book was way pricey for what it was. The lessons are very basic and the letter cards you can make yourself on your own computer. The basic making words lessons you could truly come up with yourself seeing as they are word families, adding beginning or ending consonants. However, it does lay each lesson out for you so the thinking is done for you, and I do like the suggested read aloud books for each lesson. There are 50 lessons in the book, so that part is a plus.

I started using this when we got back from break and have noticed marked improvement in my students' ability to add and delete initial sounds and rhyme. I also have them write the words on dry erase boards. This really takes it to the next level. The only problem is the time consuming set up of making the letter necklaces.
