Learning Resources Magnetic Letter and Number Construction Set, Soft Foam Magnetic Shapes, Uppercase and Lowercase Letters, Teaching Aids, 262 Pieces, Grades PreK+, Ages 4+, Model Number: LER8551

These are amazing! Finally a small, magnetic version, with many pieces, similar to the Handwriting without Tears materials. We use MatMan a lot, thr sticks and curves, but this allows us to build pictures ( house, sun, trees, clouds, people) and write words/names) as there are enough pieces available.This is such an important part of prewriting, especially for my students who struggle with fine motor but are ready to build a picture or their name.

The pieces are rather small so keep these away from kids still mouthing. Other than that, these are nice options for kids to learn how to form letters.

These are exactly what I expected from the picture. Just what I was looking for to help my dyslexic 6y.o. with building letters, words and numbers. We have the bigger set of Learning resources letter construction too. These ones are perfect for building out larger words. I do wish they came with instructions on how to build each letter correctly but dyslexics are very creative so I’m not sure he’d even reference it! Quality is good and they stick to our white board with no issue. They are a bit expensive for what they are but worth it for being the only thing out there in the market right now.

My Pre-K students often tell me that they don't know how to make letters. I use this set to help them see the parts they should use to build each letter. It comes with a handy guide that I used to make a "letter map" for my students.

My little has fallen in love with the alphabet. We have hundreds of letters around the house, and at his Nana's house. Recently he's taken to foreign letters, and can make any letter he wants with these! Sooooo worth the buy!

I wanted to use these in my classroom to compliment HWT curriculum for my kindergarten special ed class, but a lot of the pieces are just too tiny for my kiddos with dexterity challenges. A little frustration is good practice, but they really weren’t able to grip the smaller pieces at all. I let my 5 year old daughter play with the set and she was able to manipulate the pieces a little easier. On the plus side, it does come with a lot of pieces, so I was able to split the set between home and school, but again, because some of the pieces are so small, we’ve lost several pieces already.

I'm using these with Handwriting without tears as a way to review letter parts. They are the perfect size for creating words on a baking sheet. Awesome for teachers!

Great to use for centers it goes along with writing curriculums that use stick formations. Easy to clean with wipes.
