Great Reading/Spelling Tool For the Price,

This review is from: Three-Letter Words Flash Cards (Cards)
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!

This is such a great idea, and my 3 year old absolutely loves them and will play with them for very long periods of time, however as an educator I find one major problem with it. The words being spelled out are not all great phonetical choices and rely on exceptions instead of phonetical rules (ow in cow, oy in boy, ie in pie, ar in car, aw in saw). I would love to see better, easier to sound out [as the child builds], word choices like pot, bat, rat, etc.

I really love this set! They have helped my 4 year old to read 3 letter words. Not all of the pictures are easy to get but some are- like C-O-W and a picture of a cow, but they do have challenging ones too, like a woman and the word S-H-E. Would highly recommend.
