Description:

Elkonin boxes are an essential tool for novice and struggling readers aimed at developing phonological awareness through word segmentation. These boxes aid students in honing their ability to count the number of phonemes in a word, a skill that is not always directly correlated with the number of letters. Proficiency in this oral exercise serves as a building block for enhancing both decoding and spelling capabilities.
<ul>
<li>Listen to the target word.</li>
<li>Repeat the word aloud.</li>
<li>Enunciate the word slowly, elongating it to discern all its sounds.</li>
<li>On the third iteration, tap one box for each sound perceived in the word.</li>
<li>For instance, "sh" constitutes a single tap as its two letters produce one unified sound!</li>
<li>In contrast, "bl" requires two taps since both 'b' and 'l' sounds are distinguishable.</li>
</ul>
Encourage the child to determine the number of phonemes in a word, irrespective of the letter count. For instance, 'wish' contains three phonemes and necessitates three boxes: /w/, /i/, /sh/.
This application transcends conventional classroom Elkonin Boxes worksheets by delivering diverse levels and challenges for students to advance through. Words are categorized into three levels, commencing from shorter words with simpler sounds to longer words featuring blended sounds.
The app unveils two distinctive modes: Practice and Quiz. In Practice Mode, children are constantly provided with the correct number of boxes for tapping. Novices can opt for the phoneme (sound) to be articulated aloud with each tap for them to echo. Progressing learners can choose a musical tone instead, thereby prompting them to independently identify each phoneme sound.
Following practice sessions, students can evaluate their skills in Quiz Mode. They must now determine both the phonemes individually and ascertain the total number of sounds autonomously. The adequate count of boxes for tapping will not be visibly displayed during this stage.
Elkonin Boxes stand as a validated resource for establishing fundamental literacy skills in early learners. This application enhances the traditional worksheet approach by eradicating potential teaching errors, introducing a fresh and engaging exercise format, and incorporating new levels and methodologies to facilitate children's progression. Moreover, it provides a versatile platform enabling children to practice conveniently both in school and at home!
