Sound sorting and phonemic awareness tools

Phonemic awareness is the ability to hear and play with the sounds in words, and it comes before reading. These tools include sorting boards and mapping boards used in structured literacy lessons.

Products were taken from Lakeshore Learning's own category pages (checked Oct 2026), with prices and age labels read from the listing; prices are approximate and change with sales. Checked 2026-10-25. Nobody paid to be here. The buy links are plain search links, not affiliate links, so Peabody earns nothing from them.
