What a great idea! Unifix cube-like phonics manipulatives! Children can "build" words by connecting cubes end-to-end. The set of 90 cubes comes in a plastic jar with a lid with a built-in handle. There are 30 vowels (red cubes) and 60 consonants (blue cubes). There are 2-5 of each consonant and 6 of each vowel (6 of each except 4 of u plus 2 of y). Lower case letters on one side; uppercase on reverse side. Each cube has an individual consonants or vowels printed on it; lower-case letters are printed on one side of each cube, with the upper-case letters printed on the opposite side. A small instruction booklet is also included.

Category Description for Sound Bytes Reading
Sound Bytes Reading is a solid, phonetically comprehensive program with reinforcing reading text incorporated directly in the book. It has some similarities to Alpha-Phonics and Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons, but with improved teacher instruction, lesson implementation, and textual presentation. As in those popular programs, your child will begin reading as soon as the first letter sounds are taught. And, in 90 lessons, your child will be reading at a beginning 3rd grade reading level. This program is also recommended for both remedial and ELL students.
Prior to beginning the lessons, your child should have letter name and recognition skills and some phonemic awareness (the author provides background and methods for teaching these). The author also presents a great spelling methodology, complete with word lists, to integrate with lessons. The program teaches roughly 80 common sound/spelling patterns, based on the Orton- Gillingham phonograms as well as nearly all of the 100 most common sight words. Most lessons follow a similar format. Previously introduced sounds are reviewed, 1-2 new sounds are introduced, sight words (if any) are presented, new sounds are practiced in words, then sentences, and a story using only old and newly learned sounds and sight words is read. Lessons should take from 15-30 minutes per day. The author suggests following up her program by having your child read books from a carefully sequenced list included at the end of the book.
