Instead, they act as a fantastic learning tool that will enable your student to learn to spell more quickly and accurately, helping him get to the real goal: writing.<\/li>\r\n    <\/ol>\r\n\r\n<a id=\"ColorCoding\"><\/a>\r\n\r\n<h2>Color Coding Makes Learning Easier<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Color coding makes it easy for students to see the role that each type of letter plays in a word. For example, consonants are blue, vowels are red, and phonograms representing the sound of \/er\/ (such as ER, IR, and UR) are purple. The chart below shows all our letter tile colors.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Letter-Tiles-Coding-600x400-blue.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" class=\"center\" \/>\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"HowToChoose\">Letter Tiles App or Physical Tiles\u2014Which Should I Choose?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>You can't go wrong with either the <a href=\"https:\/\/allaboutlearningpress.com\/letter-tiles-app\/\" title=\"letter tiles app\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Letter Tiles app<\/a> or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutlearningpress.com\/letter-tiles\" title=\"letter tiles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">physical tiles<\/a>. They are both great options! Here are some considerations to help you decide:<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"clearfix\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Letter-Tiles-App-350x226.png\" alt=\"letter tiles app\" width=\"350\" class=\"left\" \/>\r\n<h3>With the Letter Tiles app:<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>It's easy to capitalize words<\/li>\r\n<li>You can hear the sounds of the phonograms as you teach<\/li>\r\n<li>No more worries about lost letter tiles<\/li>\r\n<li>Lessons are easy to teach \"on the go\"<\/li>\r\n<li>Need to switch between students?

Which one would your child want to use? Some clues to consider: <span class=\"italic\">Does my child prefer colored pencils, or does she like computer games? Is my child used to learning from technology, or is he more comfortable with traditional methods of learning? Does she prefer to read paper books or eBooks?\"<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>And be sure to consider <span class=\"italic\">your<\/span> preferences as well. Do you like the larger format of the magnetic white board? Do you have a place to store the board, or are you attracted to the compact nature of the app?<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The bottom line is that teaching and learning will be the same no matter which option you choose. What's most important is that you have a way to teach the concepts and your child has an enjoyable way to practice and experiment.
