The English language is often mentioned as one of the hardest languages to learn. Luckily kids pick things up easily and teaching them early gives them a head start. Alphabotz is designed to do just that. Alphabotz is a flashcard set invented by a teacher and mom to help kids age 3 and up to learn about phonics. Each oversized colorful card contains a picture of a letter of the alphabet in upper and lower case, a robot character with the letter on it’s chest and an icon on it’s head (such as a cupcake for the letter “C”), three pictures that start with that letter and some stats about the robot character. Here is an example of the stats for the letter “I”:
Ability: Inventor
Best Friend: Izzy the Iguana
Key Object: Iglooo
Home: Igloo of Ingenuity in ImagiNATION
Secret Phrase: Imaginative iguanas with ingenious intent, invite icky-sticky inchworms into their igloo to invent.
In addition to the 26 letter cards, there are 20 more cards that help children unlock and decode the mystery of the English language. These include letter groups such as “Th” and “Ch”, vowel cards and additional letter cards for letters that made different sounds (C-circle and C-cupcake representing the “sss” and “Kuh” sounds of the letter “C”) Also included are a “how to” card and a games and activities card that details a variety of games with three different levels of play.
Alphabotz cards grow with your child from learning the alphabet to early reading skills and beyond. A great tool for their $20 price tag!
