  • Great for teaching
Style: Beginning Phonics
Doesn’t include the pen. They are cards so I don’t recommend leaving the child alone with them if they are one to bend or rip cards/paper. You could do together, recommend if you don’t have the pen, or they can do it alone the pen tells them when they are right or wrong.

  • Fun way for kids to learn beginning phonics!
Style: Beginning Phonics
We love hot dots sets because it is a fun and interactive way for kids to learn! I have been trying to find ways to keep teaching my 5 year old in order to prepare her for kindergarten in the fall. She is interested in learning how to read but she doesn’t like doing regular flash cards. This hot dots set is the perfect way for her to learn beginning phonics like letter sounds and rhyming words. The ace pen (which is not included in this set but we had some pens from other hot dots sets we have) provides instant feedback in a fun way. The set includes 36 double sided cards so there is a total of 72 activities. My daughter enjoyed doing this set so I am so happy that she is learning beginning phonics in this fun way! Highly recommend! ... show more

  • Works great with the dog pen!
Style: Beginning Phonics
These cards have become a game to my nephew that he loves to play, which is great to me because he is learning so much. It is teaching him beginning and ending sounds of words and letters in general.

  • Does not come with a pen tool
Style: Beginning Phonics
I’ll be completely upfront- I did not keep this set. I loved the concept and think it looks like a great learning tool, but I did not see any obvious indication that these cards required a tool that was not included in the set. When I received the item I quickly learned that it was useless to me unless I spent just as much for a pen that had poor reviews anyway. I think this item listing needs to be more upfront about the need for a pen. ... show more

It's nice and practical to use but it doen't bring the pen to read the words, which I think it should.

  • Pen not included
Style: Beginning Phonics
My fault for not reading closely enough, but the package does NOT include the necessary pen in order to use the cards. It is sold separately. I came back to amazon to purchase a pen for the product, however after reading the reviews for the pens (faulty, giving incorrect answers, or just plain not working), I've decided to just return this product. Sad I didn't get a chance to use it with my preschooler, but pen reviews don't seem to be good enough to make an additional purchase. ... show more
