First off, I want to let you know that you need to have the Phonics mat for this product to work. This product is an accessory and will not work on its own. A lot of you may know that already, but it isn't made very clear in the item description and I wanted unknowing people to avoid making a mistake!

I rate this toy as 1 star for durableness because this company is no longer in business. Once this toy is gone or broken, it can not be replaced. For all I know, this toy may last forever. Hopefully, it will.

My nephew was given this mat for his birthday and have given me rave reviews each time I see him, as have his parents. He was a struggling reader in first grade, and reluctant because of his difficulties. He has proudly shown me his ability to make words using this toy, and regularly experiments by making new words, adding to his vocabularly as he is ready to do so. His mother reports that he also uses it to study his weekly spelling tests.

The mat pronounces words that are spelled into the mat using the tiles. It is remarkably accurate in its pronounciation, with a very pleasant voice.

This toy won the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Toy Award, from what I've read and also holds my humble endorsement.
