First Words Magnetic Poetry

Christmas gift. Not yet shared.

Great, my son enjoyed playing with them.

Fantastic and engaging way to teach your child how to read.

Our 4yo loved them so much she started spontaneously writing the words on her chalk board one morning.

I love this magnet set! My very early reader can read a lot of the words in here. I've been making silly sentences for her to read and leaving them on the refrigerator at night so she can read them when she wakes up.

My daughter loves to arrange the words to make sentences on the fridge. I test her some days and tell her what sentence I'd like for her to write and let her take her time to find the words and then put the sentence together. It is helping her with reading as well as word recognition. I agree with other reviews that there are certain word tenses that I wish were part of the box. But it is still a helpful tool for my kindergartener in helping her read.

This is exactly what we were looking for. It is keeping my 7 year old interested in language, and i love that it's portable. Perfect educational gift that's fun!

We purchased the box of magnetic poetry for our daughter, and we love it. She has been writing poetry on the refrigerator and using the magnets to tell how she is feeling. Our only complaint is the lack of some words she has desired, but for a beginner box it is pretty good.

I teach ESL (English as a second language) and bought this for that purpose. I also will use it with my grandchildren when they begin to read. I like the size of the lettering, added possible endings (ing, ed, ly), and word variety. Prefixes and suffixes would have been helpful. More descriptive words (adjectives and adverbs) with possibly some "kid" expressions/slang would be fun especially for the stated purpose (poetry) and the age marketed.

The description says 'large scale' but I wish they were a little larger. A different type of box would also be better since the existing box, once opened, doesn't hold them well. Overall, they are fine. Includes a nice selection of words.

I love this set. I bought it for my daughter's Kindergarten class and they posted the words on a large magnetic surface (some kind of AC unit, I think) in the classroom. The kids really enjoyed seeing familiar words and trying to figure out the ones they didn't know. They did not really seem to make much poetry with the words, mainly just naming the words and moving them around to suit their fancy!
