ABOUT THE PRODUCT
Why we love it
Shape-a-Sound is a wonderful tool for teaching children essential phonics and literacy skills in a fun, interactive way. The combination of wax sticks and letter cards encourages hands-on learning, helping children connect letter sounds with their written symbols. This not only enhances their reading and spelling abilities but also supports fine motor skill development as they shape the letters with wax. The playful nature of the game makes learning enjoyable, while the versatility of activities helps engage different learning styles. This set is ideal for school-readiness, setting a strong foundation for early literacy development.
SKILLS IT CAN HELP WITH
Cognitive Development
The process of associating spoken sounds with written symbols (letters) and vice versa supports a child’s memory by reinforcing both short-term and long-term memory through repetition.
Language Development
By teaching children the relationship between letters and their corresponding sounds, phonics provides the essential skills needed for decoding words, which in turn facilitates reading comprehension and fluency.
Fine-Motor Skills
Working with the wax sticks to form letters may support fine motor skill development by engaging children in activities that require precise hand movements and coordination.
