Oh my gosh! These reading rods are heaven sent! I am homeschooling my 2nd grader and he was recently diagnosed with dyslexia. I have tried everything suggested, colored filters, translation pens, kinetic sand, playdough. They've all worked to a point, but not effectively. Since starting the school year in Aug until today, he has not been able to associate the letters with their sound when reading words. I'll read his spelling words one at a time and he can spell it out with the reading rods, then write them on the test. Today was our first day using them, but Ive seen such a drastic difference, I see him trying to decode the words now. Once he hears it, he can see the letters, then writes it, rather that becoming so frustrated because he cant remember with visualizing. Ive done months and months of research on teaching reading and spelling to a child with dyslexia, everything pointed to the Orton-Gillingham method (multisensory) and these reading rods did the trick! They provide touch and sight simultaneously after he hears the words. I also love how they're color coated. It makes so easy for him to decipher between vowel and consonants. I wish I would have found these before the $50 translation pen. These far exceeded 5 stars!!!!

These should all be sold as one huge set. Thre are so many ways to learn to read, write and do math with handsmind, I keep looking to see what they come out with next.

Great, I use these with my student and he likes them..

Ordered these to help my son with phonics and he loves it!

I’m an RTI teacher (TK-5). I use these with my TK-1st students. When working one-on-one with Kinder and 1st students, I’ll occasionally use these while reading. When we get to a tricky word - I’ll have the student put the word together with the cubes - “how many letters, how many sounds?” I have them put their finger on each cube and sound out each cube and then blend it. They’re also a good addition for centers/groups. I made flash cards with pictures that students spell out with the cubes.

This has really helped our son see the differences in some similar words he was struggling with. Looking forward to using them more in our homeschool.

Bonjour Un jeu sympa qui permet de s'amuser en construisant des mots en anglais. On se prend vite au jeu en essayant de faire des mots de plus en plus longs. Ça permet d'apprendre en s'amusant.
