"These boards are a genuine game changer for our word building. My students love using them and get genuinely excited when they receive a new tile as we introduce each graphemes.The boards themselves are sturdy and exceptionally well constructed, and the magnets are strong and reliable. Tiles stay exactly where they’re placed, which means students can focus on the learning rather than managing materials.They’ve brought a new level of efficiency, engagement, and calm to our sessions—exactly what you want when teaching word building."

"The magnetic word building kits have been a wonderful resource for my Grade 2 students. It allows for quick manipulation of sounds, decoding and encoding, and supports them in building word families within morphology. I find it a valuable tool in being able to see what my students are thinking before making errors, as they reach for particular sounds when building without a model. I suggest as a scaffold to only provide the needed sounds for the day, as some learners may find it overwhelming to be visually exposed to all the sounds at once. My whole class are excited to use the kits, and I recommend them as a great addition to a phonics lesson!"

"These magnetic whiteboards and movable magnetic letters have been a genuine game changer for our school's UFLI implementation. What once took multiple staff entire holidays to prepare is now ready to go, saving an enormous amount of time. The resources are robust, highly visible, and thoughtfully designed for different year levels, allowing for targeted, explicit instruction rather than a 'one size fits all' approach. An invaluable tool for any school that is committed to high-quality literacy teaching"
