A Hands-on Approach to Skill Building

Hands-on learning makes all the difference!  When first graders use letter tiles and dry erase markers to practice digraphs, they’re engaging multiple senses at once—touching, moving, writing, and seeing the letters come together. This multi-tactile approach helps cement those tricky letter combinations in their minds far better than worksheets alone ever could. By manipulating physical materials, students build stronger neural connections and develop a deeper understanding of how sounds and letters work together. Learning through touch and movement isn’t just fun—it’s how young brains build literacy skills that last!

And, yes, we write right on our tables! Pro tip — the dry erase markers wash right off and the kids LOVE it!
