4.0 out of 5 stars Not as Flashy, But A Very Good Teaching Toy!, September 14, 2007

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

The Phonics Word Master is an excellent teaching toy, especially if you have a child struggling with basics of language skills.

Hooked on Phonics is primarily a tool to help teach reading skills, but this particular toy is interesting because it does an excellent job of pronouncing letters and words without lots of flashing lights and distractions that may inhibit children who are ADHD or autistic spectrum.

This toy ties the visual representations of letters and words together quite nicely with a straightforward pronunciation of the related sounds.

This toy should also be an excellent tool to help ANY kid learn the basics of reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great educational toy! , January 21, 2008

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

My 3 yr-old got this for Christmas, and he really enjoys it. He already knows his letter sounds, and we thought this would help him with the corresponding letter names and starting to form words for pre-reading skills. He really likes using the toy, although it is most effective when we sit and have one-on-one time with him while he uses it, so we can help him stay focused - a tough task for any 3 year old! It is also great to take in the car, as it is just the right size to hold in their lap. We wanted to encourage him in his interest of letters and reading but still keep it fun, and this toy helps! We also purchased the next toy Sizzle makes (Get Ready to Read Activity System for ages 4-7), so that as soon as he is ready we can get that out - it is even more interactive.

We just received this toy as a gift for my four year old daughter. She loves it. It is a great teaching tool for letters and sounds. She enjoys spelling words like her older sister. It is a great confidence builder because she can work on the easier levels with ease. It has many levels to work through so she can build confidence while she progresses through them.
