My First Bananagrams by Bananagrams

Little bit by little bit these help little people to learn to read. Just don't take too many out of the bag to begin with, just take out what is needed.

Got this game for my son and love it. I have the original game and the difference is this version will chunk letters that go together in words that little might not understand yet. Eg. Ch, oo, ou, are all chunked to make this easier to spell. Great for younger children just starting to spell/read!

This game is great with kids ages 6-12. I use it as a pediatric occupational therapist to help with developing spelling and printing skills. It can easily be integrated into handwriting activities providing a multi-sensory experience for the student. For visual learners, this game has been well designed with different coloured tiles which are consistent letter-to-letter (ie. the "k" is always green). The also have combination letters for those that are commonly found together in words (ie. "sh" and "th"). The tiles have a lovely weighted feel to them and the letter formations are consistent with major printing and handwriting programs, such as Handwriting Without Tears enabling the educator or therapist to use similar language during letter identification/formation if using this in the classroom or clinic setting. Aside from all of this.....it's FUN!

Good quality but as the digraphs are inly horizontal, not that great for crosswords

I use this for tutoring. It's much cheaper than the All About Reading set. I often like using the Bananagrams set, but some of my students asked if we could use lower case letters.... so this was a good option. My students' spelling results went from failing to +90% each time we reviewed using this. Having a tactile way to practice spelling makes it much easier for Neurodivergent kids who struggle with Dysgraphia as well. I doubt I'll ever be using this as a game though.
