Description
As children explore our skill-building tubs, they learn to identify initial blend and digraph sounds—and fine-tune decoding skills as they play. Each terrific tub is packed with lots of adorable miniatures for children to explore…and each tub is labeled with the appropriate blend or digraph sound, so kids can sort the objects into the tubs as they sound them out. You get 12 plastic tubs, plus 60 miniature objects and a complete guide that’s packed with activities.

Customers Say

Customers love the Blends & Digraphs Teaching Tubs for their realistic miniature objects that engage children in hands-on phonics learning. These durable tubs help kids ages 4-6 master reading skills through tactile play, though a few items may not fit properly in the containers. Useful for language development, including for children with speech delays.

I plan to use these when teaching blends. These will be great for students to touch and learn while using a concrete visual.

Another great language learning tool

After mastering the alphabet tubs we moved on to these blend and digraph tubs along with the vowel sound tubs. These were just as enjoyed and valuable to my daughter’s language and phonics learning as the alphabet tubs! I introduced these to my daughter when she was four and now at age 5 she is site word reading and learning to sound out words on her own thanks to the visual and interactive nature of these tubs. Kids just love these little toys and gravitate towards this low demand and tactile learning tool.

This is an excellent teaching enhancement tool. The children will get so excited to see what items are inside of each tub to help them understand how two letters combining will make a different sound to form words. This will help children to decode long and complex words when they begin to read.
