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 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 Large, easy-to-press design suited to little hands and to children with visual or motor difficulties Runs on 3 x AAA batteries (not included) What children practise: Speaking clearly, then listening back to their own voice Building vocabulary and matching words to pictures or symbols 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.

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.

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.
