4 Pebble Word Building Kit

Expand early literacy skills with the 4 Pebble Word Building Kit, featuring six engraved beech wood trays and both uppercase and lowercase alphabet pebbles. Ideal for small groups, the kit enhances phonemic manipulation, letter matching, and advanced word-building with CCVC, CVCC, and CVVC structures. Children guide each word through intuitive compartments, developing spelling, reading fluency, and vocabulary as they learn through doing. The kit’s natural materials appeal to kinesthetic learners, making it a powerful addition to literacy centres. By combining hands-on pebbles with structured guidance, this learning tool supports phonics comprehension and nurtures independent exploration.
