This letter set of 300 wood coins aligns with Rooted in Language's teachings in their educator training classes, Laying a Path: Phonics & Spelling and the Vowel Chart class, as well as their early literacy curricula, Pinwheels and Wand. Each level of Pinwheels and Wand may teach specific letters or letter teams but not all. Letters and letter teams that have not been explicitly taught should be stored separately.
Uses include word building, creating word sums, and sorting vowel spellings by vowel sounds.
Non-written markers are shown in yellow, including the dash in broken vowel teams (for creating vowel teams with a Silent-e) and the plus sign (for creating word sums).
