Elkonin Boxes — How Many Sounds Are In the Word?

Students click play to hear a word, then drag individual boxes into an array to represent each distinct sound (phoneme) they hear in the word. This systematic approach helps students break down spoken words into their component sounds, building the crucial foundation needed for successful reading and spelling. An essential activity for strengthening phonemic awareness, as students learn to count and isolate the individual sounds that make up words, regardless of spelling patterns. Today's Goals • Identify individual sounds (phoneme). • Practice counting the number of phonemes in a word. Prep Checklist • Assign the activity if you would like students working on their own devices.
