Educational Insights GeoSafari Phonics Pad

The Phonics Pad has many cards and activity levels, making it appropriate for young children who are not reading, up to elementary age. Young children will need help at first, but then will be able to choose the card they like and play alone, using cards that do not require reading. Older kids will enjoy picking the cards and playing alone, practicing skills necessary for reading while playing fun, colorful games. We bought the Phonics pad to supplement homeschooling with a 4 and 6 year old. It makes a good learning tool to use during family time -- my grandkids love taking turns and playing with an adult as well as alone. It is simple, just a card that fits into the pad frame, with touch pad and instructions. A little pricey for the basic construction and technology.
