Fridge Magic National Literacy Strategy Magnetic Words for Years 1&2 TRIPLE PACK (Packs 1, 2 & 3) Key Stage 1

good value for money

Good magnets but the words you’re given aren’t really useful for making interesting sentences. Also there’s an “if” but not enough modal words to make proper if statements, I’m also looking for more pronouns to actually use as subjects! What’s the point? Not as a vocabulary list but something to MAKE SENTENCES WITH.

I already had the Reception words pack from the same series - this pack doesn't contain the 45 most common words that kids are supposed to be able to sight-read by the end of Reception. I would recommend buying that pack first then buy this pack once your child can read those ones confidently. I bought this pack for my son as he went into Year One, and it's very useful in helping him practise the words he'll need to be able to sight-read next. I keep all the packs in a biscuit tin with a big square lid, so that he can use the lid as the 'magnetic board' when he's sentence building with them. The words themselves are small, so it's not a suitable present for very young children.

Good but needs way more verbs to make it interesting

I purchased these for my 5 year old for Christmas and found them to be really great. They have a whole host of first phonics words to get your child into the swing of things with learning to read and write. These have proved invaluable and are a constant play thing for my son while i am cooking dinner (they're on the fridge). They easily break apart and the magnets are strong enough that they don't keep falling off. Really pleased with this product.
