TTS 44 Sound and Spelling Phonics Tubs
$380.91 ex GST
($419.00 inc GST)
The 44 Sound and Spelling Phonics Tubs make the 44 sounds of English something children can hold. Each of the 44 labelled tubs holds a small collection of objects — between three and six mini plastic items — along with a list of the different ways that sound can be spelled. So the 'ai' tub might hold a snail, a cake and a weight, helping children see how three different spellings can make the same sound. It's a hands-on, visual way into a tricky part of learning to read and spell.
What's included:
44 labelled tubs, one for each sound of the English language
3–6 mini plastic objects in every tub, plus a spelling list
Covers initial sounds, long and short vowels and split digraphs
A simple storage box, with a label on each tub so pieces go back in place
A full teaching guide with activity ideas
Arrives fully assembled and ready to use
Ways to use them:
Introduce just the sounds you're teaching that week, then build up
Sort and match objects to explore the different spellings of a sound
Use for quick assessment or revision before the Year 1 Phonics Check
Give EAL/D learners a real object to link to each sound and word
Tactile, structured and easy to manage, these phonics tubs work right across early years and primary — a hands-on support for phonics, spelling and reading.
TTS Big-Point Recordable Sound Buttons 6pk
$153.64 ex GST
($169.00 inc GST)
The TTS Big-Point set turns speaking and listening practice into something children can hold, press and hear for themselves. Each large recordable sound button captures up to 30 seconds of speech, sound or music and plays it back at the touch of a hand, so a child hears the word, question or story exactly as it was recorded. Lift off the clear top and slip a picture, symbol, number or letter underneath to match each recording, and the buttons become a flexible tool for phonics, vocabulary, sequencing and question-and-answer games.
What's included:
6 recordable sound buttons in bright, easy-to-tell-apart colours
Records and plays back up to 30 seconds of sound per button
Removable clear top to hold your own pictures, words, symbols or numbers

Speaking clearly, then listening back to their own voice

Sequencing a story, retelling events and answering questions aloud
Taking turns and joining in, which helps EAL/D learners and quieter children
Hard-wearing and simple enough for children to use on their own, these Big-Point recordable voice buttons suit early years classrooms, home learning and speech and language support alike.

TTS Recordable Talking Butterflies 6pk
$108.18 ex GST
($119.00 inc GST)
Talking Butterflies bring recording and role play together for early years and primary. Each of the 6 clip-on butterflies has touch-sensitive points — press to record a short message, then press again to play it back, up to around 500 times. Best of all, the wings are interchangeable: swap them over and the same base becomes a dragon, a bat, a fairy or a creature of the children's own invention, so one set stretches across all sorts of topics.
What's included:
6 green clip bases with touch-sensitive record and play
6 sets of interchangeable wings to make butterflies and other winged creatures
Up to around 500 playbacks per recording (depending on length and volume)
A screw-in clip to hold the wings, and a magnetic strip on the back
Clip onto washing lines, branches, fences and displays, or stick to metal
Each butterfly is about 12 cm; runs on LR44/AG13 button batteries
Suitable for ages 3+
Ways to use them:
Record minibeast facts for a bug hunt or a nature table
Bring a story to life — a talking cave surrounded by 'flying' creatures
Hide a spoken clue on each butterfly for a listening trail
Practise counting, letters or new words in a way children want to touch
Let quieter children record and share an idea in their own time
Hands-on, re-recordable and endlessly changeable, Talking Butterflies turn speaking and listening into something children can hold, clip up and play back for themselves.
