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.
