Description
Children build letter recognition—with a ready-to-use activity center they can explore on their own! Our instant center is specially designed for independent exploration: Just set out the materials, introduce the activity…then students use fun foam letters and activity mats to explore the upper- and lowercase alphabet at their own pace! The all-in-one center has enough materials for up to 4 children to work at once, including a double-sided instruction chart that gives everyone easy access to the activities…and simple picture instructions, so even nonreaders can participate. Center includes 104 letters, 4 drawstring bags, 4 alphabet mats and a write & wipe assessment card.

Letter Recognition Instant Learning Center

Overall Rating: 4.3 out of 511out of 12 reviewers would recommend this product to a friend.

Almost perfect

November 03, 2024 - By Rebekah Anderson

These mats are great and they are the perfect size for small groups. I do wish that it was a set of 5 because some years I had to have small groups of 5. I ended up ordering another set so I would have enough and then have some extra letters. I do wish the letters were more durable. It seems more students are rough with classroom items nowadays. I do like that the uppercase letter I is made the correct way. My old original letter kit from a different company just had a straight line for the letter I.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

I was bummed to see the letters were the foam letters. I have other learning centers from a few years ago and the letters are thick plastic that lasts. Usually Lakeshore materials are quality but this is not good quality for the money.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Letter Recognition Instant Learning Center

October 13, 2023 - By mankenbauer2@gamil.comfrom Dayton, Ohio

The foam letters are very nice for students to hold in their hands and manipulate and place on the alphabet boards. I didn't give 5 stars because the drawstring bags, although nice quality fabric, don't stay closed and letters fall out easily.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Disappointed

October 28, 2022 - By Katrina Hernandezfrom Wolfforth, TX

I wanted to love this center however once I started to open the box I realized that the foam letters were not sturdy. I'm not sure how long they will last. I expected a bit more quality from LakeShore.

Perfect for little ones learning letters

November 18, 2021 - By A mom and teacherfrom NEw York NY

I bought this for my kindergarten students to learn letter recognition. My son in PreK saw this and instantly became obsessed matching the letters and staying so focused. I ended up buys two of them! Highly recommend!

Yes, I would recommend this product.

A little disappointed

March 12, 2019 - By Melissa D.from Ohio

There are some really great things about this center--I love that it's colored, so it's easily separated. I also like that it has both capital and lowercase letters included. The letters, however, seem really cheap. I laminated the mats, so they don't bend. I hope this center lasts as long as my many, many other Lakeshore products I have in my Pre-K classroom!

Yes, I would recommend this product.

I use this at the beginning of the year with all my students. We play it like a game and see who can match all the letters first! They love it!

Yes, I would recommend this product.
