Ideal for ages 3-6, these scientifically based manipulatives support CVC and advanced word construction without any assembly or batteries, making them a perfect classroom or homeschool essential.

## Description

Learning Resources text sticks are scientifically based multisensory tools for primary school English lessons and are suitable for training syllables, rhyming words, alphabet/letter recognition, start/final sounds, isolated sounds and KVK words (consonant-vowel consonant). With our vivid text bars for reading training, children learn to disassemble and form words and spell the alphabet. Our text rods are used for beginners to construct KVK (consonant-vowel consonant) words and to form longer, more advanced words. The colour-coded rods are easy to put together. This set contains 82 lowercase text sticks in a box, with dividers for better overview, instructions for teachers with free download material.

Review: I bought a set of these to use in my beginning reading groups a couple of years ago. My students really enjoy using them, and have grown immensely. I liked them so much that I ordered another set for my granddaughters who are beginning homeschool.

So many great uses in one box. Allows for play while learning. Each block has a capital and lower case version of letters. This allows for many practice activities using the same kit. Makes letter and sound acquisition flexible and fun for all learners! Great product!
