Hands on learning!

July 03, 2024 - By Kfrom California

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!

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Makes phonics a game for little ones

December 28, 2023 - By Grace T.from Maryland

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.

Yes, I would recommend this product.
