Building words with tiles you can move is one of the simplest ways to practice phonics: swap one letter and cat becomes hat, then hot. These foam magnetic pieces are thick enough for small hands to grip, light enough not to slide down a whiteboard, and quiet when they inevitably hit the floor.
What’s included
- 156 lowercase letters (6 full alphabets)
- 52 uppercase letters (2 full alphabets)
- 40 numbers, 0 to 9 (4 sets)
- 12 math symbols: plus, minus, equals, greater than and less than
- Letters about 1.5 in tall, cut from 0.25 in foam with a full magnetic back
- Shallow wooden sorting tray with 5 compartments
Grade level & classroom use: Pre-K through grade 2 phonics, spelling and number work at a whiteboard, baking sheet or magnetic easel. Works well at a literacy center for 4 to 6 students at once.
Care & warranty: Wipe pieces with a damp cloth and store them flat in the tray so the magnets don’t warp. The pieces are small, so supervise younger children. A 1-year limited warranty covers any magnet backing that peels away from the foam.
