A USB-C headset with an in-line microphone, supplied with a USB-C to USB-A adaptor — so the same headset works on newer Chromebooks and iPads and on older lab desktops. For a school running a mixed device fleet, that adaptor is the difference between one order and two. What's included: Over-ear USB-C headset with in-line microphone USB-C to USB-A adaptor for laptops and desktop PCs In-line controls within easy reach mid-task What it's for: Oral language tasks, EAL/D recording and speaking assessments Online lessons and video calls where a clear microphone matters Shared computer labs and one-to-one device programs USB-C carries audio digitally rather than through the device's headphone circuitry, which usually means a cleaner recording — worth having where student speech is being assessed. Class quantities available on a school purchase order.

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.

The Chatter Board Pro turns a wall display into something children can hear. It's an A3 dry-wipe board with 44 tiles, and behind each tile you can record up to 10 seconds of audio — a word, a sound, an instruction or a question. Write or draw on the tile, or slip in a paper insert, then record a message to match. It's the upgraded version of the popular Chatter Board, now with a rechargeable battery and a headphone socket for private, focused listening. Features: A3 dry-wipe board with 44 recordable tiles Up to 10 seconds of recording and playback on each tile Fully re-recordable — wipe and change the board for a new topic any time Rechargeable battery (around 3 hours of continuous use) — no batteries to buy Headphone socket for 1:1 work and quiet listening in a busy room Write, draw or add a paper insert on each tile Suitable for ages 3+ Ways to use it: Add spoken labels to a talking wall or working display Practise phonics, number facts or key vocabulary, sound by sound Record a question on each tile and let children answer aloud Support EAL/D learners and 1:1 interventions with headphones Build listening games, quizzes or a class word wall that talks back Re-recordable, rechargeable and easy to change, the Chatter Board Pro brings speaking, listening and displays together across every subject.

The TTS Easi-Speak Bluetooth is a handheld microphone that lets children record their own voice, then hear it played straight back — a simple, motivating way to build speaking and listening, and to draw out reluctant talkers and EAL/D learners. It's shaped like a real microphone, so children want to pick it up and have a go, whether they're being a roving reporter, reading a story aloud or practising a new phrase. Features: Records straight to the microphone and plays back through its built-in speaker Bluetooth — pair it with a tablet or a Bluetooth speaker for the whole class to hear Free iOS and Android app to view and edit recordings on a tablet 128MB of internal memory (around 4 hours), expandable with a micro SD card Rechargeable — charges over micro USB or on the Easi-Speak docking station (sold separately) Colourful RGB lights, a 3.5mm headphone socket, and 6 swap-on colour bands Ways to use it: Record and replay reading, so children hear their own fluency and expression Interview a classmate, then play the interview back to the group Capture ideas or a story starter to listen to and build on later Give quieter children and EAL/D learners a low-pressure way to be heard Robust, rechargeable and genuinely easy to use, the Easi-Speak Bluetooth turns speaking and listening into something children can record, share and play back for themselves.

The Easi-Speak Bluetooth Rainbow set gives a whole group its own recording microphones — six in bright, different colours, so it's easy to hand them out and keep track of whose is whose. Each one lets a child record their voice and play it straight back, and because they're Bluetooth, children aren't tethered to a computer: they can be roving reporters, interviewers or singing stars anywhere in the room. Pair them with a wireless speaker and you have a simple, affordable class PA for presentations and group discussions. What's included: 6 Easi-Speak Bluetooth microphones in rainbow colours A docking station to charge all six together, ready for the next lesson Bluetooth pairing with tablets or a Bluetooth speaker Around 4 hours of internal memory each (128MB), expandable via micro SD Rechargeable — no batteries to buy or replace A free iOS and Android app to view and edit recordings on a tablet Ways to use them: Run a whole-class speaking activity, with every child recording their own Record interviews, stories or news reports for children to play back Set up listening stations or a group podcast around a topic Support fluency, questioning and collaborative talk across the curriculum Rechargeable, wireless and easy to manage as a set, these Easi-Speak microphones make speaking and listening a hands-on, whole-class activity — with the colours doing the classroom management for you.

The Jolly Phonics Chatter Board brings the 42 sounds of the Jolly Phonics program to life. Each sound sits on its own tile — press it and you hear a clear, correct example of how that phoneme is pronounced. Press the tiles in sequence and children can blend the sounds together, which is the key step towards reading and spelling. Because the sounds are pre-recorded, every child hears the same accurate model, again and again, at their own pace. What it does: Plays the 42 pre-recorded sounds taught in Jolly Phonics One tile per sound, with the matching letter or image on the front Press tiles in sequence to model sound blending for reading Clear, consistent pronunciation every time — the sounds can't be recorded over Supports the Key Stage 1 focus on phonics, spelling and blending Suitable for ages 5 to 11 Ways to use it: Let a child hear a sound they're unsure of, as often as they need Model blending — press the sounds in a word one after another Pair children up to practise sounds and check each other Support EAL/D learners and children who need extra help with articulation Use in phonics rotations, small groups or one-to-one Hands-on, self-directed and built around correct pronunciation, the Jolly Phonics Chatter Board is a simple way to reinforce phonics and build children's confidence with sounds.
