This is activity is a great way to learn beginning sounds. It's colorful and has good manipulatives for little hands.

I didn't read the description carefully to learn that it only helps children learn the beginning sound of only 10 of the 26 letters. The letters are T, L, M, R, P, F, B, M, D, C. My plan now is to make more mats for the missing 16 letters using objects I have around the preschool. For $50, I would have liked it to come with 26 mats to learn 26 letter sounds. Perhaps they could have had pictures for some of the objects so there were three objects/pictures for all 26 letters. I still do feel that it is valuable with 10 letters, but I wish there were more. I like that it is very hands on and inviting.

This will be awesome to use when my son gets a little older to teach and reinforce beginning sounds. It’s nice to have it all put together and ready to go.

My daughter loves these. She is three. We have had them for almost a year and we are now sometimes using them as intended and she is beginning to get the, letter-sound associations but sometimes we just have fun playing with them because they are cute. The set is well made with the quality you would expect from Lakeshore.

My kindergartners love using this product. It is a fun hands-on way to get kids excited about practicing their phonemic awareness skills. So glad that I purchased it.

My son loved these! Good sensory items

I was disappointed that this did not come with 26 activity mats for each letter and corresponding manipulatives. I just assumed it did. So it covers 10 letters not the entire alphabet. I should have paid attention to the description which said 30 manipulatives and 10 different activity mats.

These phonemic awareness sets are awesome. My students love them. It’s such a fun and engaging way to teach kid PA skills.

What a fun little box! I will definitely be ordering the other two boxes in the set. Probably my favorite Lakeshore purchase to date.

This is such a fun and hands on way of learning beginning sounds. I wanted a way to work with my 5 year old twins on beginning sounds and this is it! They pick up each item and say the name! And it doesnt feel like work... it feels like playing!

PreK students love sorting through the small items, which engages them to attempt to recognize the beginning sounds when they otherwise wouldn't. A lot of times a student will start with one card they're trying to fill out, but will get excited by other items in the box and end up with multiple cards in front of them.
