3018 little reader blocks with kidsPhonemic awareness is important for both young children and English as a second language (ESL) lessons. When learning to read, students who understand the basic sounds of our language will have an easier time learning to read.

Making reading fun is important so that everyone can enjoy reading an exciting story and not get discouraged because it is too difficult.  Little Reader building blocks toys will be one of your children’s favorite kids learning toys and will help them to learn over 100 basic sight words as well as different colors.

Because kids love the bright colors and any toy they can stack you will be able to make up many games to teach new words as well as colors using these blocks toys.  Have your child stack all the blocks of one color – then let them knock them down. Roll the cubes like dice and have a child read the word that comes up on top.

It is essential for kindergarten children to begin writing and using the Little Reader blocks can help here also.  You could put several of the blocks with the words you are teaching, such as all the green cubes (nouns) in a larger container. Have each child reach in the container and select a block.  Then have them write each word on the block on his paper.  You can then discuss the type of word.
