Children will love to form CVC words with this set. The cards are initially laid out with the yellow side facing up to show the picture of the CVC word. Children pick a card and identify the missing CVC word. They then form the word using a string and beads and lay the word on top of the card. All the cards are self-checking with the answers on the reverse of the card. All the letters and sounds in this set are from phase 2 and all the beads in this set are orange to match the phase 2 colour. Beads measure between 15-26mm wide and are all 29mm in height. The beads can be used independently to create pseudo words to check phonic recognition. Contains 90 beads, 30 double-sided cards (12 x 100mm) and 30 x 170mm strings. Age: 4+. Warning: Choking hazard due to small parts and strangulation hazard due to long cords: not suitable for children under 3 years old.
