Good manipulatives; large awkward case

Pros: -Good manipulatives to spell out words - consonants in blue, vowels in red - choice of letter y as blue or red (I use blue) - has variation of letter a and g to familiarize students - a good number of letters to use with a small group, differentiated instruction Cons: -Overpriced -Plastic container would have been better with latches and a handle (like the kind used for screws, nails, or jewelry) - Take care to fully close the lid (hear it snap shut) or you'll find your letters spilling out like I did.
