These scientifically based, multisensory tools help children learn to use affixes, roots, and bases to decode complex words. Develop decoding, word building, and spelling skills with our hands on literacy reading rods. Our reading rods help with constructing CVC words, or consonant-vowel-consonant words for early readers as well as larger words for next steps. The color coding of the rods provides quick visual cues for recognizing Greek and Latin root words, prefixes and suffixes. A hands on approach to early literacy skills! Comes with 65 color coded rods that include consonants, vowels, digraphs, vowel teams, word families, and affixes.
