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.

Almost perfect

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.

Colors of letter boards is not as shown

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.

Letter Recognition Instant Learning Center

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.

Great for Letter Recogntion, Reversals, Sequencing

This is the perfect center for students to practice the order of the alphabet while also recognizing letters and the position of them.

Disappointed

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

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!

A little disappointed

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!
