GREAT FOR BEGINNERS!!!

3 letter words for my 3 year old)while we play with cards we also discuss body parts, what we see in the picture. this is a great help for my little one to learn and repeat new words. highly recommend (a wonder gift too).

My 5 and 2 year old love matching up the pictures and figuring out the words. It’s simple, fun, and a great price.

Has helped my toddler so much in learning to spell wordsHighly recommend!

I started "playing" this "card game" with my grandson when his vocabulary started to really take off (at about 17-18 mo.) He loves showing me all the words he knows. It makes both of us very proud! The only ones I don't use are the phone because it is an old style rotary phone and the robot because it's a super old stereotypical boxy looking robot and he had no way of knowing what it is. The other one he has difficulty with is the "girl". He only has a baby brother and it's hard for me to explain why the picture is a girl. And I don't know why there isn't a card with a boy to compare it to!?

For Pre-K, I homeschooled my daughter and used School Zone Publishing for my curriculum. I found these corresponding cards as a great companion to teach her the ABCs and basic spelling. She loves these cards and they keep her attention. They are nicely made and very versatile.

After looking over a number of jigsaw puzzle type three letter word sets, I came across this option. Granted, they are cards rather than jigsaw puzzle pieces, but the concept is still the same, the rest is really aesthetics. Form a complete picture, and read the corresponding word at the bottom, which is printed in lowercase letters, one letter per card.The cards are a large size (5.4" x 3.25"). The pictures are a little cheesy and rather lacking, my daughter thought the cat was a squirrel until I had her examine the word (cat is a word she already knows how to spell). Of course, most of the pictures on puzzle word games are just silly anyway. All the other pictures in this set were easy enough for my daughter to identify.The cards have two sides, for a total of 36 words. The colorful side contains easy nouns; ape, bed, bee, boy, bug, car, cat, cow, cub, dog, fox, hat, hen, jet, pie, pig, saw, and zoo. Once these are assembled you can flip the three-card completed picture over to the grayscale side which contains adjectives and pronouns to describe the nouns on the colorful side. For example, if the colorful side has a pie, the grayscale side has the pie with steam coming from it, and the word spelled is, of course, hot.The grayscale side is, of course a more difficult level that could be played as a puzzle game of its own. With the lack of colors and the more difficult words, it makes for a kind of 'advanced' game in comparison to the simple, colorful 'beginner' game.My daughter, 4, has only had one opportunity to play with these but she seems to really like them and the fact that she can understand the correlation between words and pictures by herself. She isn't reading yet, but I think each little tool that helps her identify the meaning of words is a help. I don't know much about phonics, except that it isn't really a stand-alone teaching method, so I'm inclined - intuitively - to disagree a bit with the other reviewer.For the price, I don't think you can go wrong with these cards. I will definitely be buying more.As an added bonus, they are made in the USA instead of China like most of the competitive products in this genre. How cool!

Print is good. But cards could have been more durable.It's good some stage between recognize alphabets and learn spellings. Puzzle for toddlers.Kids can not do them on there own. So adults should figure out easily, difficulty levels on own.Enjoying them.
