Hand2Mind Little Minds at Work Science of Reading Essentials Toolkit

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