Traditional, Familiar Print

Our blocks feature a plain, traditional print already familiar to your beginner reader. This is so he or she can confidently build upon existing knowledge. 

 
Our carefully selected letter combinations maximize the number of decodable words familiar to young children, which creates a cycle of positive affirmation as they master word after word. (But don't forget nonsense words are normal, and great for practice & word recognition too!!)

Little Bud Kids Spin-and-Read Blocks with travel-friendly CVC flashcards

Multi-level & Designed for Self-Guidance

Our CVC flashcards are double-sided to promote independent learning! The heavy-duty flashcards are designed to grow with your child.

 
One side features a picture with its written word, and the other side features just the picture. This allows both absolute beginners and more advanced readers to engage in self-correction and provides endless ideas for phonics games and activities.

EcocraftKids and Little Bud Kids - Learning CVC words with Spin-and-Read Blocks

Freedom within Guidelines

Our phonics toy offers just the right amount of exposure and challenge for brand new readers. Our rods introduce English words in their simplest form. Consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) words are logical, straight-forward, and leave no room for alternate pronunciations.

Our CVC resource sets children up for victory by helping them master a foundational step in reading first. There are no sight words ("the") or words that follow other rules ("eat") that could potentially cause confusion to new learners.

My favourite reading toy! My (then) 3yo uses it to practice his CVC spelling, match the words to the flashcards and read aloud. It also helps strengthen my 2yo's fine motor skills. She enjoys spinning the blocks, and I don't have to worry about splinters because these blocks are smooth, sturdy and well made. It comes with a handy pouch so I can bring it along car rides. Overall a very well thought out and educational toy.

I bought this set to practise CVC word spelling for my daughter (Kindergarten) and supporting CVC word familiarity for my son (Preschool). Love the wooden block structure, awesome quality! And, love that the picture cards are double-sided - one side only picture, the other with the word along with the picture. My daughter spells the word looking at the pictures only and then checks her work by turning the card while my son just copies the word from card to blocks. A great product for early learners. Thank You!

The quality of the item (down to the packaging!) was great. The suggestions for how to keep them interesting were so helpful and our kids love them! I am so happy I bought them here instead of the slightly cheaper plastic ones. Definitely worth the difference.

I am both a parent as well as a Kindergarten teacher and I just want to say that I am thoroughly impressed with these spin-and-read blocks. My 3 year old daughter was able to use them by way of a simple matching activity and she was even starting to make connections between a few of the letters and their associated sounds within the first 10 minutes of playing with these learning tools. The blocks are sturdy and the flashcards are vibrant and enticing...

Frequently asked questions

You can create 62 modern English words with the blocks. Note that this number does not include nonsensical words that can also be created. Nonsensical words are also extremely helpful in teaching children how to decode and blend together letter sounds. Furthermore, exposing children to words both real and nonsensical helps them develop a more vibrant vocabulary base.

Absolutely! We only use safe, water-based finish on our beech wood blocks. All of our products go through stringent lab testing to ensure that we are not only compliant to Toy Safety Standards, but that we exceed those standards including: US (ASTM-F963), Canada (SOR 2011-7 & SOR 2018), Australia & New Zealand (ISO 8124), the EU & UK (BS EN-71), and Japan (JFSL).

We are proud to offer a wood toy that is not only safe for your kids, but for the environment. 

While it is extremely helpful for your child to already know the sounds of the letters of the alphabet, it is not necessary to wait to use these reading blocks. Our Spin-and-Read Blocks come with an accompanying alphabet card that helps guide children on the correct sounds of the letters. Parental guidance in the beginning is helpful for children to see how letter sounds correlate to its written form, and to also see how putting letters together create their own sound. These blocks then reinforce that knowledge and provide endless amounts of practice and exploration through touch, sight, hearing, and speaking.  

That's a great question! While we recognize the tremendous value fonts such as D'Nealian present for learning writing (as well as being a precursor to cursive), we also recognize that for most of the children who use our blocks, a standard font they are already familiar with builds upon their existing letter knowledge since most children's material today are not in pre-cursive fonts. As our reading blocks are not only strictly used in Montessori circles, we chose a standard "child-friendly" font to allow children from any background or educational philosophy to benefit from using our phonetic reading blocks. 

Since our blocks are made with completely solid wood, versus MDF or plastic, there will be natural variations to the cut of each individual block and how it fits together with its partnering blocks. Each block is unique with character, so please note this does not operate like a machine-made plastic toy! 

If the rotation of your blocks is slightly tight, it can be loosened by turning the blocks several times back and forth or lightly knocking it on its side. Humidity levels can cause wood to expand at times.  

If the rods are still too tight, please contact us!

If there are any issues with your set, please contact us right away! We will be happy to make it right for you!
