Breaking words into letters and syllables prepares the child to succeed in beginning reading. Through numerous playful activities, alone or with others, the child enjoys reconstructing 40 words by assembling letters or syllables. Some, like "house" or "sun," are even offered in both forms of breakdown. The lovely colorful illustrations accompanying each word and the self-correcting cut-out puzzle cards allow the child to check their own answers. This game thus promotes understanding of word formation and recognition of phonemes.
