Read Write Inc.: Set 1. Speed Sound Cards

Bought these cards as this is the same phonics system used at my sons school. Must say it been great for reinforcing what they learn and my 4 year old often sits looking through the cards and sounding out the letters. The ditties at the back eg Maisie mountain mountain, would probably have not made much sense to me if I hadn't known how it's used at school - which is basically how to actually write the letters. I thought this was a bit bizarre having to remember these as well but the truth is it works! If my son gets stuck writing a letter I say these and he remembers. I think these cards are excellent to use at home if that's what's being used at school.My main criticism is the packaging which is just a plastic bag to put the cards in!

Goid item

After reading all the reviews I got these cards as they had the little rhymes for learning to write the letter. My son has absolutely loved doing his letters homework (that won't last eh?!) We spread these out on the table and make the suggested words from his teacher and then I let him pick a word and see if he can sound the word out to get the right letters.Read Write Inc has done wonders for reading and writing at our school. Even if your school doesn't do this, I still think these would be helpful if you're keen to do extra reading and writing at home.I agree the bag they come in could be a little better, but it's a minor point.

Great use at work

Good sounds. Good quality.

This system is used in the grandchildren's school so I bought this set to use at home, not only for the child at school but also for my 3 year old grandson. He loves to say the sounds and then finger write over the letter. The reverse of each card has a picture and a saying to encourage and let the children know how to write the letter. Great fun for the children and they learn whilst playing. Even if they only know the first five letters recommended as a starting point there are several words one can make out of them and the child can sound out the sounds and blend them together to form three letter words. Brilliant!

I bought these in the prep for my daughter starting primary school and they are great it gets you in the habit of using the same language that they will hear at school and an extra visual for homework and for the kid to play teachers to you too

My daughter is being taught RWI phonics at school and it's a very effective was to understand how to pronounce the words not just know them! The cards are the size of a hand, which is big enough for learning (not too small or too big) the phrase that goes with every sound makes it easier for us parents to follow up on what's being taught. Love how the 2 letters one sound are all in one card such as the TH, CH, NG, NK, SH. So you can always display 3 cards for TH I NK and the count with you....

Bought this set for my toddlers to start learning phonics for fun. They are beautiful, quite durable, thick cards and my children find them hilarious.Good purchase.

Genial sistema de aprendizaje, muy recomendable en educación, independientemente que sea aprendizaje en inglés o no, muy divertido, ellos se involucran mucho.

These cards are what I had hoped for. They have useful visuals to help in memorizing the letters of the alphabet. I wish they included upper case letters as well.

Perfect

Great product. I believe now they come a bit thinner but that's all. I've read reviews claiming this has no instructions or box but this is the option for school and teacher. If you are a parent this is not the one for you. I've been working with this program for about 10 years and there no other like it.
