Read Write Inc.: Set 1. Speed Sound Cards (READ WRITE INC PHONICS)

Great use at work

Kids loves it!!!

After reading all the reviews I got these cards as they had the little rhymes for learning to write the letter. My son has absolutely loved doing his letters homework (that won't last eh?!) We spread these out on the table and make the suggested words from his teacher and then I let him pick a word and see if he can sound the word out to get the right letters.Read Write Inc has done wonders for reading and writing at our school. Even if your school doesn't do this, I still think these would be helpful if you're keen to do extra reading and writing at home.I agree the bag they come in could be a little better, but it's a minor point.

This system is used in the grandchildren's school so I bought this set to use at home, not only for the child at school but also for my 3 year old grandson. He loves to say the sounds and then finger write over the letter. The reverse of each card has a picture and a saying to encourage and let the children know how to write the letter. Great fun for the children and they learn whilst playing. Even if they only know the first five letters recommended as a starting point there are several words one can make out of them and the child can sound out the sounds and blend them together to form three letter words. Brilliant!

These cards are also being used by the Prep school attended by my son and they are absolutely excellent. Each letter/sound is represented by an object/word which not only starts with that letter but also reminds the shape of the letter. In addition, each letter/sound card has a rhyme which describes how to write the letter. Through repetition, kids learn the letters, the sounds, the words and the rhymes. To be frank, I do not know how I could have helped my son effectively without these cards. The best purchase I have made for my son so far.

Really lovely cards, am using them to help my three year old with her phonics. I got these as it is the same programme as used in her school nursery. The pictures are nice too. Would be nice if they had a case/box as can see them getting bent easily.

I bought these in the prep for my daughter starting primary school and they are great it gets you in the habit of using the same language that they will hear at school and an extra visual for homework and for the kid to play teachers to you too

Highly recommended kids love them
