Phonics Reading Phones

These Phonics Reading Phones are a great addition to your classroom. I like to use them during choice reading time or at my library center. The kids have fun using them. Mine were made years ago, so they are a little warn. It just goes to show that they definitely last the test of time.

The phones are pretty easy to make and way more affordable then the commercially sold products. Here is what you do:

- Purchase a long tube of 1" PVC tubing and cut it into  3 1/4" length  

  pieces.

- Purchase 1" PVC elbows (2 for each phone).

- Push the elbows on to each end of the PVC tubing piece.

- Decorate with colorful tape and stickers.

To use these phones students just hold the phone up to their ear and mouth and talk. They definitely need to be trained to speak in a regular voice or even a whisper, because at first they think they need to speak loudly.
