 Great for early readers Jan 15, 2009
This toy is a great addition to my 5 year old's room. He likes identifying sight words from the great number of words in the set, and he likes trying to help me make up silly sentences. It has all kinds of short words--pronouns, verbs, color words, animals, feelings. Lots of words designated as kindergarten "sight words." Great purchase.

 Great educational product! Jul 14, 2008
As an early childhood educator, I know the importance of early literacy skills. My 6 year old daughter uses these magnets to make up her own silly sentences. I would recommend this for kindergarten-1st grade, for preschoolers it will be too frustrating and for older children it will be too easy. I like the variety of words. I rated the durability somewhat low because it would be rather easy to bend the magnet and break it (this has happened before to us with another set), but with a child 5 years old or older you should be able to explain to them not to do that. Yet another reason why this wouldn't work so great with preschoolers - they may just tear them apart!

great learn to read tool Jul 02, 2008
We used this kit for helping my son learn to read. We started with one word on the board. As he memorized the words, we added them one at a time. After a while, we were able to add words more quickly. When he had lots of words memorized, we started making silly sentences for him to read. Sometimes he makes them for me and sometimes I make them for him. The words are larger and easier to move that the regular magnetic poetry set, but the selection is limited. The kit does not include color names (which we really missed; we made our own magnets for those). Great for beginners. To make really fun poetry, you'll want to move on to the regular kit.

A fun way to learn Mar 19, 2008
I bought this to help my kindergartener with his reading skills. Word recognition (finding the words he wants), sentence structure (putting words together to form sentences), creativity (telling a story). The only problem we've had is that there are so many words that it can be overwhelming and/or hard to find a particular word. Grouping like-words together can help. It's well-made and durable. The words are magnetized, but work well on any hard surface. My son usually uses a cookie sheet.

Fun for the whole family Feb 03, 2008
This is wonderful. Everyone in the family has fun reading and making funny sentences back and forth to eachother. My daughter who is 6 loves to read what we put on the frig. it encourages her to want to read more - she has fun putting words together as well.
