Developed with an experienced primary school teacher, this beautiful phonics game is designed to help children reinforce their phonics knowledge by encouraging segmenting and blending in a fun and enjoyable way. The aim is to match the picture tiles with the word tiles. The dots and dashes ('sound buttons') under each word help children to segment the words into sounds so they can blend the sounds to read the word. If the bars on the front of the word tile line up with the bars on the front of the picture tile, it's a match! The set can also be used as a memory or sorting game. Pieces measure 2.7" x 2.7". 40 pieces. Ages 12 months and up.
