Teacher reviews
“I hope you do something like this for math???? These games have made it so much more fun to learn phonics. 4th graders who are still learning phonics have it so hard because it is usually very grade-appropriate but not age-appropriate. The kids get frustrated when it is 'babyish'. This game was perfect.”
