-This chart has so many uses and functions in my classroom. I love that it is great at helping the children to spell. I also love the children are able to use this a center to reinforce their phonemic awareness skills. This chart has been great for my class.

This excellent for daily hands on phonics lessons, word creation activities, rhyming lessons, or word families activities. This would also be good for independent center practice or small group instruction. I used it with younger elementary school students for a rhyming lesson with books written in rhyme. I also plan to use it in April with a poetry unit. As for cost, it was a bit pricey but seems to be much more durable than many of the other pocket charts and the metal gromets are great security. I liked that the chart came with all the various blends and vowel combinations as well as pictures to help preschool age children. The versatility is really what sells this chart.

This had so much potential but unfortunately falls flat. The product itself is nice, honestly - good quality pocket chart and the cards seem sturdy enough. However it’s phonological and phonemic usefulness are terrible. First of all it has pockets for some vowel teams but not all. There’s a pocket for consonant blends, but has cards with weird blends like “nd” “rd” and “rk”. There are pictures cards for for building words with corresponding letter cards, but in some combinations the phoneme grapheme correspondence isn’t even correct (for example “shark” is broken up into the cards /sh/ /a/ /rk/ making a weird rk blend instead of the appropriate r-controlled /ar/ grapheme. It has only a 1-3 cards of each individual vowel so building words longer than cvc is mostly impossible. And finally, as if all that wasn’t bad enough - it doesn’t even have cards for ALL THE LETTERS OF THE ALPHABET! For $20 it’s just not worth keeping it with all the diminished usefulness.

This is a fabric chart which reminds me of kite material, it is thick with plastic pockets on the front and comes with hooks to hang. The chart is set up with 3 rows of clear plastic pockets. Row with red vowels, a, e, i, o, u and y printed. Then yellow row with blue blends ie, oa, oi, oo, ou and us printed. Then a row with two plastic see through pocket with vowels and consonants. And then two pockets of vowel combinations and blends. Comes with laminated letter cards but there is no j,q, v, w, x, y and z. There are 12 blank cards and 31 picture cards. Very nice quality but the card will get bent with use.

I love using pocket charts like this while homeschooling my kids. This one is nice and sturdy and organized. The cards all have a place which I appreciate. I also love that it came with hooks so that it can be hung over a door. That's very convenient when we have limited wall space.I'm looking forward to using this with my new kindergartner!

Had no idea it would be so small

These sorts are great for early childhood education, there is enough letters and pairs to build words with meaning. I do wish there was more, but those are easily made.

This is a great teaching tool to help reinforce phonics skills when you are teaching reading in K and 1st. It also makes a great learning center where students can practice sounding out words using a picture and then improve their spelling skills using the correct letters and vowel patterns/spellings.

Can wait to use this with my students
