Phonics teaching "sound buttons"

Caroline Fallon · 2022-06-30T10:22:33Z

I have a school which use "sound buttons" in their phonics teaching.** A child in key stage 1 is unable to physically draw these in and would struggle to manipulate cards. Does anyone have any tried and tested alternatives for generating these marks? We were thinking that ink stampers might work - do they already exist or how might be best to create them - but also open to other ideas. **In this case, "sound buttons" means marks drawn under letters in a word to help with sounding out, so short sounds (a, b, c) etc are marked with a dot, long sounds / digraphs (ee, ai etc.) with an under-score and split digraphs (a-e, i-e etc in words such as "make") are marked with a curve to join the two vowels.

Not specifically about this activity but you can see my videos of teaching phonics to a 5 yo pupil who is nonverbal.
