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."..."  Read more

I ordered this product to use with my 7 year old who is composing sentences and my 4 year old who is reading simple words. I wanted something sturdy, Something with a uniform shape so that the low, fine motor skills of my 4 year old would not cause frustration as he butted letters against each other to create words. I also wanted something with a strong magnet so we could use our vertical board without the words slouching. This product fit all of those expectations. We love these tiles and I often have disappointed children when I tell them that our work time is up. Each letter block is approximately 2cm in width, 2.5cm in height. They are all 1/2cm thick. To me a perfect square would have been better but the fact that all letters are the same size allows for them to nicely rest against one another without twisting, turning or sloping. A word makes a wonderfully nice rectangle shape and the letters do not skew sideways. I was also concerned about the magnet on the backside. I wanted something sturdy but the pictures from the vendors just do not show the backside of these letter tiles. A backside filled with magnet would have been perfect but what I found is a very acceptable alternative. Each tile has a round magnet that is 7mm in diameter centered in the back. The magnet has a molded plastic side around it which only exposes the flat edge of the magnet which would rest against your fridge or metal work board. I like how the magnet is enclosed with only one surface exposed. It is very much unlike the cheap letter shaped magnets that I grew up with that have a small magnet merely glued onto the back which can easily be pried off by a young child. I would highly recommend this product to parents, grandparents, homeschoolers or anyone else who would like to allow a sturdy manipulative for children to use for word play and word building lessons. *Please note: I chose this product and paid for it using a Wayfair Gift Code in exchange for my honest review of this product here and on my Clothesline Musings blog. I have received no other form of compensation."..."  Read more

My kids like this and it is nice with the different options. The pointer thing was more of a weapon for my kids, but they are on the young side for this so if you're kids are older they may get it's real purpose better! Nice size."..."  Read more
