Curriculum that goes beyond core skills

With the Fridge Phonics Magnetic Letter Set, each letter of the alphabet sings, talks and teaches, helping children make key connections between the letter’s shape, name and sound. Children can see all letters at the same time, helping to reinforce letter learning. Kids can place each large, tactile letter into the school bus and press it to hear Tad pronounce the letter’s name and sound correctly, including short and long sounds for every vowel. Press it again and Tad will say a word that begins with the letter and then use the word in a sentence, reinforcing phonics and early vocabulary. Three learning songs, including the “Alphabet Song” and “Wheels on the Bus,” help children remember alphabetic order and build early vocabulary as kids sing and dance along. In addition to reinforcing alphabet knowledge, which is an important first step in learning to read, playing with the letter tiles also helps strengthen fine motor and coordination skills, which are important for future writing.
