What’s Inside
8 activities for ages 6–7
3-Letter Word Puzzles – Reversible puzzles that help children read and spell short vowel words. On the front, kids can build and sound out CVC words, while on the back, they'll see just the image where they can practice spelling each one for an added phonics challenge.
4-Letter Silent E Word Puzzles – Strengthen long vowel/silent E patterns with reversible puzzles that let children read words on one side and spell them on the other.
Blends Bulletin Board Set – Giant double-sided cards that teach beginning blends. The front shows colorful visuals with real-word examples, while the back becomes an interactive fill-in-the-blank activity to practice spelling words with blends using a whiteboard marker (not included).
Digraphs Bulletin Board Set – Build reading confidence with large, reversible digraph cards. The front introduces each sound with examples, and the back encourages kids to fill in missing digraphs to spell words using a whiteboard marker (not included).
3D Shapes Bulletin Board Set – Explore real-world 3D shapes with full-color visuals on one side and outlines on the back to build math knowledge and vocabulary.
Number Safari Go Fish Card Game – A fun twist on a classic game that helps children recognize, compare, and read numbers up to 100. Play Go Fish or switch to a game of War to practice greater than and less than.
Pencil Puzzles – Four-piece number puzzles that build number sense and introduce place value. The front side focuses on numbers 1–10, while the back side helps children explore the teens (11–20) using tens and ones for an early place value challenge.
