The media could not be loaded.  I think these are amazing and so good for learning! My great nephew is 3 years old and thus will help and encourage fun learning. The manual is also easy to follow for me and I never knew this way of learning when my son was younger. The blocks fit together with ease and are fun.

This is more of a teaching resource than something for a child to ‘play’ with, or work through on their own. It is in some ways equivalent to a visual aid, but – more than that – it is a practical hands-on tool on which a child can see how words are formed, and themselves form words.Their own name is likely to come first, followed by some of the simple words that are illustrated on the light blue and pink cubes – dog, cat, ant, etc.After they get going, and for a keen learner to do some voluntary ‘revision’ practice, they can work on their own, but most tasks will need a teacher to at least introduce a concept. That means individual teaching or, at most, small group work. Good for home learning – not at all good if there are more than three children using a single box of reading rods at the same time.The enclosed leaflet should definitely be read right through by the prospective teacher. Besides explaining how the various colour codes are to be interpreted (e.g. pink pictures represent words beginning with a vowel; blue ones a consonant), it offers many good ideas for demonstrating how words work.Some ideas in the leaflet come as a surprise – or did to me. The concept of rhymes is introduced (cat, mat, bat, etc.), as is counting the number of syllables in a single word (up to three in the examples – volcano, violin, …).Through use of these rods, perhaps a new generation of poets will emerge (and rhymed verse with a strict metre will come back into fashion)!Well, perhaps not, but at least the children’s reading is likely to develop alongside almost without specifically paying attention to that.The cubes are nicely made and presented in a stout box that – with reasonable care – should well outlast any one child’s period of need for exercises at this level.‘Yes’ to 3+ for building their own name from its elements – but mainly 5-6 plus for seriously beginning to read.

The possible combinations are somewhat limited.So, it is good for pretty young kids, with a limited vocabulary.My nephews, who are 3 years old, were quite happy with it and able to put their names together, with help.The cubes are solid and durable.The phonems are in line with the way children are taught in school.

This is great tool to teach child through play to recognize letters and words. It teaches not only alphabet but phonetic awareness too.

What a fantastic concept. Such a simple idea for young children who are learning words and starting to put sentences together and structure sentences.My nephew has learning difficulties and non verbal autism and he has found ways of using these to make sentences with the blocks.They're bright, colourful and the words are clearly written. Each compartment in the box tells you what each colour is for example an adjective.These would be really great for use in a school aswell or home schoolers

Used this to teach a 6 yr old about forming sentences .Enough blocks to create a sentence with various words and examples the book is also very handy.Very useful, fun to teach and is very handy.

The set includes a variety of word tiles that cover different parts of speech, such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, and more. The clear and concise design of the tiles ensures that my child can easily identify and differentiate between them. The vibrant colours also add an element of visual appeal. It can be used independently or in a group setting, making it suitable for both individual play and collaborative learning. It has become a go-to activity during our family game nights, fostering teamwork and encouraging creativity.

We got these are it turns out our school has been using these during lessons.Having these at home really has hep learning as they get to learn for play rather than it being so structured.

Made my reluctant low reader excited because we made it a game.

We bought these for my kindergartener as she was struggling with reading. After the first use with her tutor, her reading improved.

El juguete es lo que se ve. Se trata de una serie de piezas de plástico que tienen escritas en inglés, distintos tipos de palabras: verbos, nombres, preposiciones, adverbios, etc.... Cada tipo de palabra en un color, para que el niño sepa que ese tipo de palabras tienen algo en común. La idea del juego, es construir frases. Al tener colores los grupos de palabras, pueden variar las frases fácilmente. Lógicamente, hay que estar jugando con el niño, para que haga las construcciones de las frases correctamente, así que algo de inglés tienes que saber. Me ha gustado, me parece un juguete muy instructivo y educativo.

The kids use them for spelling words. They love them.

Exactly as described. Came quickly. You have to be familiar with your parts of speech in order to not be digging around the box looking for words (guilty!!) They're all color coated, so if you know your parts of speech (prepositions, auxiliary, etc) it'll be seamless. Otherwise, even with the rooting around for the words, it's fine.
