·SCIENCE OF READING MANIPULATIVES: Integrate multisensory learning into your reading instruction with the Little Minds at Work Science of Reading Essentials Toolkit! This collection of multisensory materials was developed by Tara West to help teachers transform their phonics instruction to include the best practices of Science of Reading (SOR). This toolkit helps teachers introduce hands-on routines to their phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, and vocabulary instruction.

·PRESCHOOL LEARNING ACTIVITIES: This hands-on resource includes a variety of materials that incorporate visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile experiences, allowing children to engage in whole brain learning on their path to becoming successful readers. Each of the materials in this kit is specifically designed to align with the best practices of Science of Reading. Children will love using these captivating supplies while developing their phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, and fluency skills!

·BUILT WITH PHONICS FLASH CARDS : Several of the manipulatives in the Little Minds at Work Science of Reading Essentials Toolkit use a color-coding system to help children visualize beginning (green), middle (yellow), and ending (red) sounds. These help students practice and master decoding skills. This toolkit can be used at the small-group table with direct teacher instruction, during whole-group instruction with directed guidance, or in an independent center.
