Title: Very useful for reading practice
Review: Love this toy - I'm teaching my 4 yr old to read/spell and it has been invaluable - it has lots of little picture "rods", plenty of letter rods (consonants in blue, vowels in red - great idea- reinforces the importance of vowels) a few blank rods, activity cards(e.g.pick pictures of dog, pig, fox and ask which end the same) and a little dry erase board and pen for writing/drawing practice. They have to create words left to right which reinforces that too. Fun factor? Well,its way more fun than worksheets or dry early readers. All in a self contained package so the pieces can be put away easily.
