Description of reading game:
This game contains a tray with cards (printed on front and back). Three letter words on one side and four letter words on the other. It also comes with cubes with letters on every side. Your child can spell the word on their own by covering the word up. Or younger kids can keep the word visible and they can practice finding the letters and learning their alphabet.

Letter recognition and letter matching
Spelling
Object and word recognition
Sorting and grouping
Concentration
Memory

Other comments or suggestions:
Your child can play this game by themselves, but I suggest playing it with them. I play it with both of my sons (3 & 5). My 3 year old is recognizing his letters and sometimes needs help. My 5 year old sometimes needs help sounding out the word.
