Toys and Games Reviews of Melissa & Doug See & Spell
Customer Review: Excellent Spelling Toy
Summary: 5 Stars
My younger son is four and a half. He has been interested in letters for quite some time. This toy has allowed the "penny to drop." He now totally gets it that letters make words, which is the next level after just "knowing your abc's." He looks at the picture, fishes out the letters, builds the word, then sounds it out. Once he finishes the word, I say, "what does that spell?" He says the word phonetically. I say, "and how do you spell that?" He spells it out letter by letter. He is so proud of himself that he is reading! The picture is there as a reinforcement. I really love the wooden, old-time solid contruction, too. I do agree with other reviewers that there should be a cover; indeed, it's odd that a plexiglass one is not included as it is with the other M & D sets. But that is really a minor complaint. Just store the thing flat. Also, I take out the letters and put them in a tupperware or on a larger surface area so that the child can find the letters more easily. Finally, I agree with other reviewers that this may not be a toy that the child will "play with for years." But isn't it worth the price to further your child's interest in reading? I also have a seven year-old who is now reading chapter books and, believe me, once they start reading you do not have to spend so much time entertaining them and the boob-tube goes off; they will be holed up in their rooms reading Chet Gecko, Nate the Great or what-have-you. YES!! For pete's sake, you can always save the toy for another child or pass it on to someone else. Go for it! p.s. I called it a "Spelling Toy" when I gave it to my son. I did not call it a puzzle or say, "Let's learn how to read!" Hence, the title of my review. I've always gotten better results by making things a game.
