Helpful phonics resource, but challenging to store in an organized way
I have the entire set of these Edulok phonics puzzles and am using them to teach my preschooler, who enjoys learning with them. I appreciate that the pieces are laminated cardboard, are visually appealing, and feature appropriate pictures. I also like that they are double-sided and that the set has level divisions. The color border that matches the center is helpful as well.I wish the pieces snapped together more firmly so you could pick up the finished puzzle without it falling apart. This would enable it to be used more like a flash card if desired and make the set easier to store. Storage difficulty is why I can’t give this product a 5-star rating. Because the puzzles don’t stay together, you must place all the pieces in something and then sort out what you want when using them, which isn’t ideal, especially if you want to work only on specific puzzles/cards.

not bad
Decent phonics puzzle for fun with learning to read. Seems helpful. $12 seems ok, I wouldn’t pay more.

3.5 A good set with two unfortunate pictures
Each of these puzzle sets comes with a double sided sheet with all of the phonemes and examples used and a translucent bag for storing the puzzles (you could technically get them back in the box, but the box is a bit flimsy and you would have to place and stack them all just so to carefully slide them in. A bag or a bigger box is the way to go).I will say I’m a little bummed that the picture for ‘fat’ is of a little boy next to a skinnier version of himself. ‘fat’ is not a bad word, but we often use it that way and kids pick up on that. It’s a potential problem that could be simply avoided by using an animal, or by using a different word (like bat ot mat or pat). The word ‘bad’ is also not depicted well in my opinion. It’s a shirtless boy with a cape, horns, trident and red eyes. It’s not symbolism that many are kiddos are familiar with, and many are trying to avoid it these days anyways. It’s a hard concept to visualize with a static image (‘fad’ and ‘tad’ would be equally hard to depict; you could have just done ‘lad’ but I get it ‘bad’ is a more common word). Maybe a picture of rotten food? Like a banana or apple that’s gone bad would be better.The pieces are technically self correcting, but you have to watch color border AND shape- otherwise you could force pieces together. The colors within a set are all grouped together so you can use these well without mixing different sets. A lot of thought went into how these sounds were grouped and how which sounds are paired for each double sided puzzle. You can include more or less to increase the difficulty or draw attention to different parts of the sounds. The cardboard is as thick as I would expect and it’s printed and cut well. It’s standard clip art type stuff, and everyone is white, just be aware. With intentional usage by old enough kiddos it should hold up.

Must Have for Phonics Spelling! FUN! FUN! FUN!
Highly recommend these sets (all 4) for any child who is learning phonics, it is an interactive and engaging tool as well as a very effective learning method.Excellent variety in the puzzles, the puzzles each have a front and a back.
