Customer Reviews

Good buy
This pack contains 1 card of each of the characters from the ORT books ie Floppy, Biff etc, with word flashcards suitable for reception age children. Good ideas for word games with the cards to provide a bit of variety to learning, so a good buy overall. My only criticism is they should contain more character cards of Floppy and family, as this would broaden the age range suitability of the cards to preschool readers.

Could be better...
I feel this pack doesn't contain enough nouns or adjectives to really make any useful sentences. There are lots of pronouns but nothing to use them with. For example you can start to make a sentence such as "We went to the..." but then there are no nouns such as "park" or "zoo" to finish the sentence. Possibly useful if you combine them with another set of cards but otherwise limiting.

Great fun
This is a really fun way of learning words and phonics. We play the games suggested but also just make up very silly sentences. Either way, they're learning to read the words. We have a set of Read at Home books, and I'm very pleased with them too.
