Junior Learning: CVC Word Builders, 48 CVC Activity Cards, Phonemic Awareness, Helps Children to Recognize and Understand Basic Sounds in Words, Self Checking Feature, For Ages 4 and up

I love using these as a center in my kindergarten classroom! They are super easy to use

Love these cards. I bought for my four year old along with letter tiles from a different company that were cheaper and fit perfectly in the sound spaces. I teach kindergarten and we use two different phonics and reading programs. I would absolutely use these in my classroom. We are encouraged to make these same “sound boxes” on our own but what is nice is that this includes the picture and IT IS DONE FOR YOU! Children today are memorizing words but struggle with actually segmenting in order to spell words correctly or sound out long decodable words. My daughter started segmenting perfectly with these! It made her excited to start learning to sound out words as she has been reluctant to play around with letter sounds (go figure).

I have used these cards in my small group reading. My students get very excited when they can sound out the phonemes and read the words. It has built the confidence in my students.

Guys. Be creative. Use other letter tools. Your child can write it with a dry erase marker (or crayong, or regular marker, or pencil...). They can build it with playdoh letters or wikistix. You can get cheap letter magnets at the dollar store. The purpose is to decompose and blend the sounds. You can use any related manipulative you can get your hands on. I will be using Educational Insights Color-Coded Lowercase AlphaMagnets for my virtual lessons.My only complaints about this set are superficial.1) The cards take up only 50% of the box. There's a huge spacer. I'm not sure if that's so you can store your cubes in the same box, but if not - kind of a waste of space.2) The box is very flimsy. The cards will likely outlast the container by many years. In a classroom, I wouldn't expect the box to make it to the end of the school year. At home, you may get a few months longer. The cards are very sturdy.3) What are the color levels about? I didn't notice anything in particular as a substantial difference between words on different colored cards. And why not have equal numbers for each color?

These are in cardboard and not real flimsy so I expect them to make it a good bit of time before wear and tear

Appealing to the students. Would highly recommend!

These are great! The word building blocks are not included you have to purchase separately but they are great sight word cards and the blocks are great fine motor skills practice. While we waited for the blocks to arrive we practiced writing the words on our dry erase board and spelling them aloud.

Purchased it as a learning tool to reteach my adult daughter who was a passenger in a fatal car wreck and acquired a severe diffuse axonal traumatic brain injury and severe short term memory loss. I’m literally having to retrain and hopefully help reroute the sheared neurons in her brain. From ABC’s to 123’s, and the use of her extremities. I’m so thankful she’s not paralyzed; however at this time, she’s wheelchair and bed bound and is transferred via a hoyer and a sling. I wish I could share the experience we are now having to retrain her brain especially when there’s short term memory loss in the way. So this and other youthful educational tools have helped, but once again the short term memory loss is killing the 2 of us. If anyone at all has any suggestions in regard to cognitive therapy please reach out to me via email: [email protected] will be very welcomed and I certainly will be very appreciative.
