Review Detail

My kids are now 7th and 9th graders, but when they were younger we loved this program. There are several tactile components that were exceptional such as the play dough and building the letters with the wooden pieces. It is amazing to to see that all the letters of the alphabet can be built using combinations of four different wooden pieces: big line, little line, big curve, little curve. The music CD was a great audio component. My kids will still break out singing "Where do you start the letters? At the top!" as well as the Mat Man song. My kids remember Mat Man with fond memories. Having a multi-sensory approach was helpful in teaching my three kids close in age (twins and a younger sibling who does most of her school with her older siblings). We were able to work with our different learning styles while using the same program together.
