🧠 Elkonin Boxes—and Why They Help with Reading and Spelling
✨ Elkonin Boxes Made Simple
Elkonin boxes are a powerful early literacy tool that help children break words into individual sounds. Each sound gets its own box, giving kids a clear visual for segmenting and blending. Just draw a few boxes, say a word slowly, and let your child push a token into each box as they say the sounds. It’s an easy, hands-on way to build phonemic awareness—right at home!
