This simple, economical and versatile tool allows students of any age to isolate the syllables of a word so that they can be seen and sounded out individually. This method of breaking down words into smaller parts assists comprehension and pronunciation for the beginning reader.

The product is placed over a word with the slide panel in the closed position. The slide is then opened just enough to expose the first syllable of the word. This syllable can now be seen by itself and sounded out before moving on to the next syllable. The process is repeated until the entire word has been conquered! The reader will have a better understanding of correct pronunciation and will have increased confidence in the reading process.

Approximately 2" x 3" and constructed out of just two die cut pieces of plastic - this product is extremely easy and inexpensive to produce and assemble.

Teachers, children, and adults learning to read either for the first time or acquiring a new language could all benefit from this simple product.
