ABSTRACT:
A reading learning tool which uses finger puppets having letters thereon is provided. The puppets could include pictures of objects corresponding to the sound of the letter. The finger puppets can be worn by a student and can be arranged to correspond to a word. The student can use the sounds of the objects corresponding to the letters to assist in sounding out a word. A teacher can interact with a student by using a corresponding set of finger puppets. The student's finger puppets can be made of paper and the teacher's finger puppets can be larger and made of a more durable and visible material. The finger puppets can include more than one letter to accommodate word families and sound blends such as digraphs and diphthongs.
