Printable Moveable Alphabet Word Building Folder Kit
Create your very own Moveable Alphabet Word Building Folder for children to build and manipulate words. This printable kit comes with everything you need to create a Moveable Alphabet Folder for children to use to practice and build confidence with their reading and spelling skills.
The Moveable Alphabet Folder is a fun and hands-on opportunity for children to apply their letters and sounds knowledge to build and manipulate phonemes in words. It supports their phonemic and phonological awareness.
By playing with the Moveable Alphabet, children are mastering some important skills such as:
- The concepts of the alphabetic principle
- Letter-sound knowledge
- Phonemic segmentation and blending
- Phonemic manipulation (substitution, deletion, addition)
- Isolating initial, medial and final sounds
- Decoding and spelling skills.
- Play a 15-minute game of Swap It or Change It. Play with the words on the list (phoneme manipulation). Swap the final sound in quit from, ‘t’ to ‘ck’? quick! Now swap the ‘i’ to an ‘a’? quack!
- Children can sit with a partner, parent or teacher and practice manipulating words. It is so much fun to make non-words as well!
- The Moveable Alphabet Word Building Folder can be used for small group activities or one-on-one support for students with reading or spelling difficulties. It can also be used as a morning activity as students arrive with a partner or parent helper.
- The Moveable Alphabet Word Building Folder may also be used for as part of your homework program, which accompanies a matching word list (such as ch) and a decodable reader with a phoneme focus of ch words.

Molly –
I have a question. On the consonants the letter o is listed. Is this a typo or is there a reason o is also with the consonants?
Janice Davis –
Hi Molly, great spot! 🙂 Yes this is a typo but it has been corrected in the printable document. Its a little harder to update the photos. Thanks.
