Rocking Chair Readers
Our Phonics Kit
At Rocking Chair Readers, we believe in the power of systematic and explicit phonics instruction. Our phonics kits provide instructors with the tools to support learners following a scope and sequence of their choice.
These kits are built to last… Ideal for small groups in Pre-K through second grade as well as remedial support for all ages (4+).

Supporting the Science of Reading
When we only teach children letter – sound pairs (like “a” says /ah/), we leave many children in the dark about what those relationships have to do with reading.
Our phonics kits help students become aware of the sounds within words and provide them with the opportunity to map those sounds to letters. The process makes an abstract idea more concrete and fun as students learn to build more and more words!
Magnetic Tiles
Movable alphabets provide access to word building even before a child is ready to hold a pencil.
Storage Pocket
With a large storage space for tiles that have not yet been introduced, you can work with each student at their level... without visually overwhelming them. This system also helps you keep track of the graphemes that have been introduced to each group or individual child without having to reference data sheets.
Built to Last
Designed to be handled by little hands, our phonics kits are made with leather exteriors and thick magnets that are made to last.
Kits include black and red white board markers with erasers that snap on the back.
Hands On
Portable & Durable
Our phonics kits are protected by a high quality leather exterior with decorative stitching. Just zip them up and they are ready to store or transport.
Blank white and red magnetic tiles are also included in the kits so teachers can add their own graphemes.
Rocking Chair Readers Phonics Kits help teach:
1) Phonological Awareness: Recognizing phonemes (distinct sounds that make words)
2) Phonics: Understanding the relationship between spoken sounds and written words
3) Orthographic Mapping: Forming letter-sound connections to bond the spellings, pronunciations, and meanings of specific words in memory
