How to use Sound Boxes in Guided Writing Sound boxes (also called Elkonin boxes) are a useful tool for helping students hear and record sounds in words. By using sound boxes in word study, you teach children the process of hearing and recording sounds in sequence. Once you have taught the process during word study, the next step is to use sound boxes during guided writing when a student needs help writing an unknown word.
