Elkonin boxes build phonemic awareness skills by segmenting words into individual sounds, or phonemes. To use Elkonin boxes, a child listens to a word and moves a token into a box for each sound or phoneme. In some cases different colored tokens may be used for consonants and vowels or just for each phoneme in the word.

Such a great way to promote sound segmentation visually.
Elkonin boxes are great for supporting phonemic awareness, and also for phonics development. What I also appreciate is that I they are supported by a wide range of research as well – including Clay, in addition to the scientific research.
Using Elkonin Boxes have been a game changer for my students! We use them in whole group instruction, small groups and centres.
Elkonin boxes are great for helping students attend to each phoneme in a word and the associated grapheme.
