This free Pip the Pup magnetic chips book helps students learn how to properly use magnetic phonics chips and magnetic wands during literacy instruction. Perfect for modeling routines and setting clear expectations.
This Free Pip the Pup Magnetic Chips Book is a student-friendly decodable-style book designed to explicitly teach how to use magnetic phonics chips and magnetic wands during classroom instruction. Through simple language and clear visuals, Pip the Pup models appropriate behaviors, routines, and expectations for using phonics tools.
Students learn that magnetic chips are learning tools, not toys, and see step-by-step examples of how to listen for a letter, locate it, pick it up with a magnetic wand, and use chips to build and read words. The book also reinforces blending routines by showing students how to swipe under the chips and read the word smoothly.
This book works especially well at the beginning of the year, before introducing magnetic tools, or anytime routines need to be reinforced.
