Touchphonics Single Touch Unit Set

The Touch-Units include more than 200 three-dimensional textured-plastic letter units, color-coded by category, and representing all English graphemes. Touch-Units are soft; the topside is rough and the underside is smooth. If students place the Touch-Unit upside down, it will not lie flat, a clue that helps students self-correct letter reversals. Categories include single consonants, consonant digraphs, silent letter combinations, initial consonant blends, final consonant blends, borrowed sounds, schwa, and punctuation marks, vowels, silent letters, r-controlled vowels, vowel combinations, prefixes, and suffixes.

Touchphonics provides at-risk students with a multisensory approach to phonics, word structure, and spelling. Students use Touch-Units to link sounds to letters, recognize patterns, and build and write words before finally reading words in context.
