Lakeshore Learning Stack & Build Phonics Flip Books

The Stack & Build Phonics Flip Books offer a fresh, interactive approach to phonics practice, blending word building with tactile engagement. Children begin by building the first word using stacking tiles and then change one tile at a time-altering the beginning, middle or ending sound-to form new words. This hands-on method reinforces the relationships between sounds and letters and helps students grasp how altering a single phoneme can change a word's meaning. The set includes 12 flip books covering short and long vowels, blends and digraphs, along with 125 colour-coded tiles sorted into 3 storage bags for ease of use. Each flip book measures 5.08 x 19.68 cm, providing ample space for young learners to work independently or in pairs. With its rich variety of word patterns and visual support, this resource builds decoding skills, fluency and phonemic awareness in a fun and structured way.
