Nine pictures of CVC words, each with three boxes underneath: one box for each sound. Children say the word slowly, sound by sound (m-u-g), and write a letter in each box. Teachers call these sound boxes or Elkonin boxes. It is the first real spelling for most children: every letter makes one sound, so the word can be spelled just by listening. Page 2 is the answer key.
