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.
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!!)
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.
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 victoryby 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 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!

✔️ You have a toddler, preschooler, pre-K, or kindergartener, or anyone aspiring to read.
✔️ You have no idea how to introduce reading.
✔️ You want to start with phonics.
✔️ You are looking for something classic, multi-sensory, portable, and easy to clean up.
✔️ You are looking for a worthwhile "educational" toy and gift for your child.
✔️ You believe self-exploration and independence within guidelines is the best way to learn.
A study in 2019 showed that 65% of fourth graders in the U.S. are not proficient readers. This statistic is alarming and sad. On the flip side, 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.
Learning to read doesn't happen "naturally," but must be taught. So, let's help them learn. Let's give them the right tools to learn and be empowered.
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!
5 vowels. 6 double-sided CVC cards each.

Designed for multi-stage learning, self-correction, and pattern recognition.
