Teach a lesson built from the Phoneme Counter using sound boxes, drag-and-drop letter tiles, and check/show-answer controls for live instruction.
Letterbox lessons work best when words map clearly sound by sound. The Phoneme Counter helps teachers choose words intentionally, check the mapping, and move from planning to explicit instruction when they are ready to teach. Explicit modeling, guided practice, and well-chosen words do the teaching; the tools just make them easier to prepare.
Wondering which letter-sound correspondences or phonics patterns to target? Start with a quick check on the Assessments page. Lesson taught? Build practice with the same words — load them into a game, spinner, or flashcards in Build & Play — and when words become sentences and passages, the Fluency tools take over.
