Amazing

The product is just amazing. Letters have a foamy texture plus the packet includes extra letters just in case you miss any letters you can still use the product. My kids love it.

Hands on learning!

I love these for small groups, and tutoring. They are just what we need to do in kindergarten, and would even do these with TK students if they're ready for it. The kids love to do these and I love that the letters are color coded. It makes for super easy clean up, and organizing. I have had these for a long time and still look like new! Excellent quality!

Excellent for early readers

My daughter loves this product and enjoys building vocabulary. She loves making words and writing sentences and poems. Since 3 years old until 7 years she finds creative ways to use. Highly recommend.

Makes phonics a game for little ones

My toddler has shown an early interest in reading so I’ve been trying to find games and books that encourage this while keeping it fun. I love that these are three-letter words with pictures he can understand and he can match the letters to start learning how to make words as a game.

Muli-Use

This item is very useful in getting the little ones involved in their reading. When we go over site words, I ask her to find the letters and build the word. She loves it!
