My daughter is in kindergarten. She is already able to recognize and write her alphabet. However, she is really enjoying learning to read, and these have been a HUGE help with furthering her phonetic skills. We have a lot of fun playing "letter ball," especially when her best friend is visiting. He's still learning to recognize his letters, and this game has really made it fun for him. They are enjoying the competitive part of it. Whoever gets 5 in a row right gets to choose the snack or the next activity! It really has made learning fun for the kids! There are times when I suggest we play catch, and my daughter pipes up with "I'll get the letter balls!" She really ENJOYS learning with these!

This was one of our faves. We're a baseball family, so what could be better than a learning tool that involves a little baseball. It's a fast paced way to practice letter names and sounds. This is perfect for children just starting school and learning their alphabet. Bella loves it because the velcro on the balls makes it easy to catch them in the adorable baseball gloves. Bella knows her alphabet really well and she loves catching the balls and telling me what letter and colour of the ball she caught.
