The device includes a three-tiered case or housing having a movable drawer on each tier. Each drawer is divided into a plurality of compartments. In each compartment are placed a plurality of three-dimensional letter pieces which may be colored in a plurality of different colors to reflect different pronunciations in different words. One color code is provided for vowel pronunciation, while another color code is provided for consonant pronunciation. Additionally, the drawers may contain groups of connected letter pieces, consisting of two or more letters, to aid in forming words with common prefixes, suffixes, or intermediate letter groupings. The casing has the color code imprinted on one side thereof, and a syllable pronunciation aid imprinted on the other. On the back of the case are positioned small canvas boards upon which are imprinted additional phonics and writing information. The top of the case may be utilized as a work area.
