Comes with 65 color coded rods that include consonants, vowels, digraphs, vowel teams, word families, and affixes.

Review: The third in the series and just as amazing! - This resource comes with a great booklet that will allow home schoolers to use the resource to its full potential. It came be used in a variety of ways, is sturdy, easy for children to manipulate, which will also help with fine motor skills. Once children know their sounds, digraphs and vowel blends, this resource can be used for building more complex words, we are moving to adjectives etc. It will help build their vocabulary for writing tasks. It supports Kineasthetic learners, ie children who learn by doing things. Vital in all classrooms. AN INVALUABLE RESOURCE FOR ANY SETTING, HOME OR SCHOOL! I have added pics of the items, front and back of the box, of the instruction leaflet and of the items. I have also added a video and pics of this one, the THIRD in the series of three, and off the other three as they all lead on from each other with an APPROPRIATE UPLIFT in learning. This one being the most complex of the three! Age appropriate, bright children will start learning these from 7+, but some might still be using them at 8. VERY HAPPY TO RECOMMEND ALL OF THEM, INCLUDING THIS ONE.
