This is absolutely perfect for what I was needing! We just started a new child in our Christian School who needs to truly go back to the basics of deciphering letter sounds. And this is great! He can sound these out as we play and doesn't feel belittled because even, I have to sound out these fun nonsense words! We can't wait to also utilize the blank set into sight words!
