Syllables Flips

Syllables Flips is an engaging, double-sided flip stand designed to help children explore word construction through prefixes, suffixes and root words. This versatile learning tool supports vocabulary expansion and deepens understanding of how words are formed by allowing students to flip between word parts and create new, meaningful combinations. The flip stand is colour-coded to clearly differentiate between prefixes, suffixes and root words, making it easier for students to visually identify and understand each component of a word. Ideal for classroom settings, literacy groups or individual study, Syllables Flips encourages children to explore language patterns, build confidence in decoding unfamiliar words and reinforce their spelling and reading skills. Its sturdy, freestanding design makes it perfect for use on desks, reading corners or small group stations. With its interactive format and visual clarity, it's particularly effective for visual and kinaesthetic learners. Whether students are working independently or with teacher guidance, this resource is a fantastic addition to any literacy program focusing on morphology and word knowledge.
