A color-coded letter-tile board for structured-literacy tutoring, in your browser. Pick a student, and the exact tiles for their lesson appear — with word lists ready to step through. No setup, no cleanup, no lost tiles.
TutorTiles follows a structured, Orton-Gillingham style progression through the phonics of English — 31 units across 6 stages, from short vowels to Latin roots — so the right tiles are always on the board for the skill you're teaching.
TutorTiles remembers each student's stage, unit, step, and even which word they stopped on. The right tiles are on the board in a second.
Every unit ships with decodable real-word and nonsense-word lists. Tap next and the word builds itself from tiles — or edit the lists to use your own words.
Students pull down copies of tiles to spell — the originals never run out. Erase the board with one tap, undo with another.
Yellow vowels, blue consonants, red units, green suffixes, orange prefixes — plus Latin roots and Greek forms for the upper stages.
Grab a tile and everything to its right comes along — one pull divides a word into syllables, just like two hands on wooden tiles.
Double-tap to flip e into ə, make blank tiles, or switch y between vowel and consonant — gated to the units where they belong.
The reversal-prone letters carry a printed baseline, and the tiles use a typeface designed for beginning readers.
Every list is a starting point. Type in your own words per unit and TutorTiles builds them from the right tiles automatically.
Student names and notes never leave the device — everything is stored locally, with one-tap backup export. Works offline once loaded.
No — it replaces the box of letter tiles, not your program or training. TutorTiles follows a structured, Orton-Gillingham style progression through the phonics of English (closed syllables → vowel teams → morphology), so it fits naturally alongside structured-literacy instruction, and every word list is fully editable.
No. TutorTiles is an independent product. Its stages, units, and word lists were created independently from the phonics of English — not copied from, aligned to, or derived from any commercial reading program. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any such program, and any program names remain the trademarks of their respective owners.
