Great for Tactile Learners, February 13, 2007
This review is from: Numbers (Scholastic Hands-on Learning) (Cards)
The Scholastic Hands on Learning series is great for tactile learners. My toddler was evaluated as either on target or ahead on everything except verbal - he did not want to talk. His hearing was fine and there's no history of ear infections so hearing interference was ruled out as a factor. So, he began regular visits with a state intervention program to help him develop communication skills and everything we tried did not work. My mom bought him two boxes of flash cards from this series for Christmas. At first, he showed little interest. However, I kept trying. And it wasn't long before he started showing interest in the cards - particularly the ones he recognized as objects he encountered on a regular basis (ball, wagon, cat, dog, boy, orange, girl, etc.)
Aside from teaching numbers, as this particular title on the product indicates, the cards are made so that the pictures of common things a child might encounter in his/her world. They are inlaid with various textures that go along with the product being pictured. My son is a tactile learner - so when he could pick up the card, feel of it, and hear us repeat to him what the picture represented, he soon began naming the picture card himself. Once that started, he has now moved on to real, 3 dimensional around-the-house products - either pointing them out or bringing them to me or other family members to inquire what they are - and only after a couple of times of naming the object, he will add the word to his vocabulary.
I highly recommend this product as well as the other products in this series (as you can imagine, we have all of them now). They helped us open up a whole new world for my toddler.

I've been looking for the early child-hood education cards for a long time. Glad to find these good quality cards! The colors and touch-and-feel textures are very attractive to my baby. I bought a bunch sets - ABC, numbers, color&shapes and opposites.

Love these cards, January 22, 2007
This review is from: Numbers (Scholastic Hands-on Learning) (Cards)
These cards are so educational. My daughter got her first set for her 1st birthday and just loved them. She is now 20mths old and has the whole set/series. She still loves them and asks us to play with them with her all the time. They are great for road trips and even on long shopping trips. They are so worth the money....I would even buy if they were more xpensive they are so worth the money.
