Science of Reading Spelling & Letter Formation Whiteboard (Orthographic Mapping)

from $14.99

Bridge the Gap Between Handwriting and Phonics

Stop juggling multiple resources. This 2-sided, 9×12 inch dry-erase board is the ultimate multisensory tool for explicit foundational literacy instruction. Designed to transition students from phonemic awareness to grapheme representation (spelling), it’s the perfect companion for any evidence-based literacy curriculum.

Key Features for Independent Literacy Success:

  • Guided Handwriting & Permanent Reference Strip:

    The lowercase alphabet at the top isn't just for tracing—it serves as a permanent visual anchor. While students are busy mapping and spelling words, the strip remains in view to:

    • Foster Self-Correction: Students can independently check letter formation and placement without stopping their flow of thought.

    • Ensure Correct Formation: Starting Dots and Directional Arrows show where to begin and how to move, building proper muscle memory even during independent handwriting and spelling tasks.

  • Orthographic Mapping Tools:

    • Phoneme Circles: Dedicated spaces for students to segment sounds (phonemes).

    • Elkonin Boxes: Built-in boxes promote phoneme-grapheme correspondence, helping students "map" sounds to letters (spelling).

  • Designed for the Classroom:

    • Double-Sided Versatility: Flip between specialized layouts to support different stages of word study.

    • Sturdy & Sized Right: The 9 × 12 inch board fits perfectly in standard student desks and chair pockets.

Versatile Support for Every Learning Environment:

  • Whole-Class Instruction: Streamline your daily Tier 1 foundational literacy lessons. This is the perfect "all-in-one" tool for word chaining, dictation, and explicit handwriting and spelling instruction.

  • Intervention (RTI/MTSS): Provide targeted, multimodal support. The clear visual scaffolds help struggling learners focus on mapping sounds without the frustration of a blank white space.

  • Special Education & Occupational Therapy: A game-changer for students with dyslexia, dysgraphia, or fine motor delays. The "look-to" reference letter formation alphabet strip provides the necessary scaffolding to build confidence and legibility.

  • Literacy Centers: Empower independent practice. Students can independently self-correct their handwriting practice during independent station rotations.

The result? Mastery and automaticity. When the “how”of writing is supported, students can finally focus on the "what" of spelling.
