Melissa and Doug Alphabet Sound Puzzle Wooden Puzzle With Sound Effects (26 pcs)

Independent play from A to Z.

With colorful illustrations to identify in each well, the wooden puzzle board offers a visual cue to each letter sound by posing the question: Which letter does this word begin with? Placing the correct letter on top rewards a correct answer with a clear recording of the letter name and sound, letting children know with certainty when they’ve got it right . . . and allowing them to self-correct when they need to try again.

Children can say the alphabet along with the puzzle as they place each piece in order, or try saying the letters independently and use the puzzle pieces to offer a helpful cue for any they forget. However they choose to play, this interactive sound puzzle is a great way to offer the independence of an electronic game with the simplicity and wholesome fun of a beautifully made wooden puzzle.

Helps build letter recognition and pre-reading skills at multiple skill levels.

For children just beginning to learn their ABCs, playing with this alphabet sound puzzle offers a colorful introduction to the alphabet. For children who have already mastered saying or singing the alphabet, it’s a useful way to develop mastery by isolating specific letter sounds and tying them to the words they begin. For more advanced pre-readers and emerging readers, being able to hold and manipulate the various letters lets children and caregivers put together simple letter blends to experiment with the building blocks of writing outside of the puzzle too. And children of any skill level enjoy identifying the colorful illustrations and repeating the letter sounds and object names as they play.
