Thank goodness for these letter cubes! Aug 07, 2012
By Bargain Savvy Mom
My 5 year-old was getting SO frustrated with himself when it came to writing letters in the correct left-to-right order and spelling short words properly. He's VERY much a tactile-kinesthetic learner and a building block addict so when I stumbled across these, I bought them immediately. The first time he began working with these blocks, he was able to "spell out" with blocks the three letter words written on a sheet of paper properly. Most of the time he likes to assemble random words and have me "read" the gibberish he spelled (which has helped him learn letter sound combos when he decides to join in and "read" the hilarious absurdity he's put together!) After spelling gibberish, he wants to spell something real and returns to my handwritten spelling & sight word sheets he uses to create words. I've noticed his use of proper upper & lowercase placement has improved (no capital A's in the middle of words now) and he's feeling more confident about his spelling abilities, which wouldn't have come with forced pencil & paper repetition. Plus, these LOOK like a toy which guarantees he's going to be ten times more interested in them than the dreaded blank, wide-rule writing sheets whose mere appearance seems to induce instant whining and resistance.
Note: It is possible to spell words "backwards" with these blocks (ie: spelling 'saw' as 'was') and my son did that the first couple times until I showed him how the block's connector ends had to face the same way and then we added pieces on like a train. The first letter is the engine and since nothing can be in front of the engine, the other blocks have to go behind it to make a letter train that spells a word. This helped him and I have thought of making a simple "train track" on a sheet of paper, with a special spot on the left where the "engine letter" goes and the rest of the letters follow on the track. This might help others who are looking for creative ways to help tactile kids learn spelling because - I kid you not - my son is just as likely to stick his pencil up his nose as he is to write a word on a sheet of paper and these blocks have been a wonderful way to tackle spelling!

I have wanted these cubes since the beginning of the school year and finally purchased them. They are great for measuring/comparing student name lengths, making CVC words, and reinforcing sight words.

I am doing preschool activities with my grandson. As a retired elementary teacher, I was looking for things that would be both fun and educational. Right now, we use these to name letters (pull them out of a bag and name them. We also spell his name. Later, we can start blending sounds to make words. I especially like both lower and upper case letters on the same cube.
