Kids get ready to read-one skill at a time! Our hands-on center guides children along the path to reading step-by-step. First, children complete alphabet puzzles to learn letter soundsthen they use picture cards and letter tiles to build simple words. Next, kids progress to tracing sight-words with fun-to-touch tactile word cards. Finally, children put it all together to read an entire book...all on their own! Center includes 5 folders-each with letter sound puzzles, word-building cards and letter tiles, sight-word cards and a book. Center measures 7 1/2".
