Have an aspiring reader at home?
Pick up a set of our Spin-and-Read Blocks today!
A screen-free, multi-sensory phonics toy that makes reading simple.
Take the complexity out of teaching your child how to read.
Our phonetic reading blocks are inspired by the Montessori philosophy to offer toys and material to children that are open-ended, multi-sensory, and natural. These rotating wooden phonetic blocks introduce the magic of letter blending and make learning to read, decode, and rhyme, straight-forward and empowering.
All without the screens.
Versatile, 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.
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!!)
Plastic-free & Durable
Take care of the earth by choosing sustainably-harvested wooden toys that extend past the life of many plastic toys. We choose beech wood for its extreme hardiness and beauty.
Our blocks are safe and non-toxic, and certified in 2020 & 2021 by TUV SUD, a global regulatory compliance company, to exceed toy safety regulations in the US, Canada, U.K., EU, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan.
Testimonials
Grace K.
My preschooler loves her reading blocks. She can now "blend" together different letters and read simple words. She feels so much accomplishment with what she can read because it's so easy to pick up on the sounds and patterns the letters make together.
Jen H.
My kindergartener can't get enough of this! She thinks it’s a toy, but I know it’s helping her learn, so it’s a win win. She loved using it to teach her little brothers- another total mom win! This will be something all my kids will enjoy for a long time- I couldn’t recommend it more if I tried!
Kamila B.
These blocks + the flashcards are a hit. I looked at different brands for the blocks, and this was the only one that went above and beyond just selling the blocks. The flashcards and tote bag together add so much value.

The Benefits of Phonics
Studies show that phonics instruction greatly improves a child's foundation for word recognition, spelling, and reading comprehension.
A proper phonics foundation allows one:
1) to see the relationships between sounds and their spellings.
2) to move towards reading fluency.
3) learn to decode instead of guessing.
What are CVC words?
Three-letter words are English words in its simplest, most elementary form. These words are also called CVC words or consonant-vowel-consonant decodable words.
Learning the patterns in words helps establish a strong foundation for advancing reading skills. For instance, simple 3-letter words such as H-A-T and D-I-P and F-U-N are easy words that will allow your child to start reading short stories quickly. Talk about a confidence booster!
