Lyn WendonFlip Flap Phonics

My 4 year old son has known the alphabet and recognized letters/letter sounds for a couple years now. He had no problem with that.Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to help him understand that those letters/sounds actually fit together and make the words we read. Night after night we would try simple phonics books and I could tell it just wasn't clicking. He has always been very good at memorizing books and I noticed that's what he would do in an effort to "trick" me into thinking he was reading.Finally, I ordered this book and it all became clear to him!! He follows the dots at the bottom and uses the pictures for reference if he is unsure of himself on letter sounds. He was reading 3 and 4 letter words by himself the FIRST DAY I opened this book. Thank you, thank you!! This is a wonderful teaching tool!!Tip: Some letter combinations are tricky (like "ch"). There are fun Letterland spelling stories that explain the sounds these make. For example, "Clever Cat sneezes 'ch!' beside Harry Hat, because his hairy hat tickles his nose" - this gets them to associate the "ch" sound with the "ahchoo" of a sneeze. So helpful!

LetterLand is the greatest phonics program so far! Good for ELL students, for small group.

For some reason I received notification that my order was delivered March 7 but never actually received the product until today- March 10th! Anyway, we started using the flip book immediately and my kids quickly got the concept. I'm hoping this will help my 7 yr old daughter who is cognitively impaired to be able to read, as well as my 3 yr old son, who is a precocious reader, to learn phonics rather than whole words! Thank you!

Wonderful companion to the Letterland program. Has helped my son tremendously with letter sounds and sight words. A night and day difference since school ended!! Shows text with and without the Letterland characters. It made reading and sounding out words come to life for my child. So grateful for these products!

This is something I wanted for my Kindergarten class when I teach Letterland. Since schools work on a budget, I bought this myself and my students love it.

The child I am teaching to read loves the letterland characters. This book is increasing his fluency and building the word families that he can read.
