40 Free Printable Elkonin Boxes

Elkonin boxes are popular. Teachers use them in school to teach pupils how to read and spell.

These elkonin boxes are a set of boxes that represent the sounds in a word, and as the student says each sound, they understand and remember them.

Teachers with the elkonin boxes ask their students to place a token or counter in each box to represent a sound in a word.

You should note that you may use fewer boxes than the word’s letters when tackling sound. For example, you might find a sound like “Kuh-Luh-Ah-Kuh.” In phonemes, that’s/k/ /l/ /o/ /k/.

The elkonin boxes also have arrows. These arrows are to assist the students in understanding that they are supposed to read from left to right.

When the students are ready, the teacher can use the elkonin boxes to teach them letters. Give your students words that have simple phonemes instead of blends.

Here, you can use Alphabet magnets or beads like the tokens. You can also ask your children to practice writing the letters in the boxes.

Using Elkonin boxes to teach students sounds and letters, they can visualize the sounds in a word and understand how they are connected.

Without further ado, we have designed over 40 free printable Elkonin boxes that you can download, print and use at school or home.
