Hand2Mind Reading Rods Building Sight Words English Language 64 Cubes 5 years+

The Hand2Mind Reading Rods set is a multisensory and scientific tool that helps children learn to read and write in English. Children work with color-coded cubes that snap together easily, forming words step-by-step and building confidence in reading. The set is available only in English and is recommended for ages 5 and up.

Through this set, children learn high-frequency words (get, if, me, much), sight words that must be recognized instantly without decoding sound by sound (the, of, as, you, for), as well as heart words that are learned by heart because they are irregular and cannot be read correctly just by applying phonetic rules (sheep, shop, fish). Thus, the set covers several types of essential words for beginning readers.

The set develops decoding, word-building, and spelling skills. It helps in building CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words for beginning readers, as well as longer words for subsequent stages of reading instruction. The 64 cubes include consonants, vowels, digraphs, vowel teams, and heart cubes for heart words, providing a comprehensive approach to word formation.

The compartmented storage box keeps the cubes organized, and the included English-language activity guide provides instructions for reading and writing exercises. The packaging measures 22.8 x 16.5 x 5 cm, and the set includes 64 Reading Rods (33 consonants, 7 vowels, 6 digraphs, 13 vowel teams, and 5 hearts) along with the activity guide.
