Make Vowel Patterns Visible. Build Words. Strengthen Decoding.

Students may know individual sounds but reading breaks down when they can’t recognize, blend, and apply vowel teams and diphthongs accurately within words.

Foam Vowel Team & Diphthong Magnets give students a clear, hands-on way to see and work with complex vowel patterns during explicit phonics instruction. Designed for Science of Reading aligned instruction, these large, color-coded foam magnets make vowel teams and diphthongs concrete, visible, and teachable. They can be used with any curriculum.

This set focuses on the most common vowel teams and diphthongs, giving students repeated opportunities to build, change, and decode words while strengthening vowel pattern recognition and orthographic mapping. This consistent visual and tactile support reduces cognitive load and helps students apply phonics skills more effectively.

This is the critical bridge between basic phonics and fluent word reading.

These phonics tools are intentionally designed in a larger size to support explicit, systematic instruction. The size makes them easy for small hands to manipulate and highly visible when teachers model phonics lessons on the board, supporting clear instruction and accurate student observation.

Designed for multiple instructional settings, these tools can be used with individual students, small groups, or whole-class instruction, making them ideal for core phonics instruction, reading intervention, dyslexia support, and structured literacy classrooms.
