sun and dog
map and fan
Small Groups workflow
See how the same Deck changes for the classroom routine.
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 rhyming, syllables, onset-rime, and sound play before print.
How this fits
Use LearnTiles to plan phonological awareness for teacher-led small-group instruction. The same Deck moves from class code to student play to a report-backed next step.

Questions teachers ask
What grades are best for phonological awareness?
Phonological awareness work well for pre-k, kindergarten, 1st grade. Teachers can simplify prompts for early learners or add written explanations for older students.
Can I use phonological awareness in centers?
Yes. Build a short lesson with 8 to 12 Tiles, assign it with a class code, and reuse it for small-group rotations, review, or quick checks.
What can students practice in a phonological awareness lesson?
A good lesson can cover rhyming, syllables, onset-rime, and sound play before print with quick feedback and a mix of interactive Tile formats.
