Students answer
Students complete a few multiple choice or matching Tiles while you listen for the misconception.
Regroup
Use missed Tiles to decide who needs another example for initial sound identification, picture sorts, and letter matching.
How this fits
Use LearnTiles to plan beginning sounds games for teacher-led small-group instruction. The same Deck moves from class code to student play to a report-backed next step.
