DEVELOP FROM A BEGINNER READER INTO A GROWING READER Transform "C-A-P" into "C-A-P-E" and learn the magical steps how this is done with a magical letter, the silent E! This spinning phonetic letter blocks set helps new beginner readers take the next natural step in reading with the introduction of long vowel sounds. Move beyond simple 3-letter short vowel CVC words and learn how to read words with the CVCe pattern (4-letter words with a consonant, vowel, consonant, and a letter E). Complete with real-life image flashcards and a wipe-clean writing board, this learning toy helps children discover the magic and power of this final E, showing them: 1) how it can change the sound of the vowel that precedes it and 2) how it remains silent. It also shows them: 1) how to categorize between short and long vowel words, 2) how to identify correct spelling patterns, and 3) how to differentiate between real and nonsense words, This toy is Step 2 in our Montessori Phonics Toy Series, following after our foundational reading phonics set, the Spin-and-Read Blocks. CONTENTS DESIGNED FOR VISUAL AND TACTILE LEARNING This Magic E set makes an excellent gift for all 4 year olds, 5 year olds, and 6 year olds. It comes with 4 wooden rods with rotating letter blocks. The last block on each rod helps children transform a CVC word into its CVCe partner and visually and tactilely understand the difference between the two. A total of 101 real words can be created. Children can then match up 48 of these words with our 2 sets of double-sided flashcards, complete with a real-life image, word, and definition. A wipe-clean board is provided for further writing practice and word categorization. READING BASED UPON A PHONICS FOUNDATIONStudies show that phonics instruction greatly improves a child's foundation for word recognition, spelling, and reading comprehension. Our Little Bud Kids Magic Spin-E Rods is an interactive Montessori phonics material designed to help children continue to grow in their reading fluency. Once your preschooler, kindergartener, or 1st grader is reading words like “C-A-N" and "T-A-P," they’re ready to explore how words like these can dramatically change with the addition of a letter E at the end. "CAN" now becomes "CANE" and "TAP" becomes "TAPE." Learning how to read words with silent E must be taught. Silent E's power is magical but quite straightforward: though it makes no sound and is completely silent, the E at the end of a word has the power to change the sound of the vowel preceding it, making that vowel a long vowel sound instead of its typical short vowel sound. Silent E is one of those foundational steps for readers that will make a huge difference in their decoding skills and fluency.
