Simple but effective. Students make a spinner with a pencil and a paperclip. Each wheel provides a variety of phonemes so students can work independently in pairs. Great value.

Great resource
I printed this out, laminated it, and used a pocket chart. My class loves guessing where something is hiding. We especially loved having 8 fish to find! Great way to reinforce and/or learn your letters.
