Learning to attend to words that end with the same group of sounds (rime units) is an important phonological skill that develops prior to formal reading, writing and spelling.   This kit aligns with Barbara Brann's 'Magic Caterpillar's Building Blocks for Literacy Framework' and has been developed with her permission by Occupational Therapist, Fiona Lilley and Speech Language Therapist, Sally Barrable.


The items can easily be stored in a clear plastic container for ease of use.
