Learning Resources Take Four Word Game Review

Learning Resources Take Four  Word Game
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this game for my family to play together. The premise of Take Four is to build your own crossword puzzle, as fast as you can, using the lettered tiles provided. Everyone plays at the same time, so you don't have to wait for the other player to finish his "round." The person who has the least amount of points at the end of the game is the winner.
Word games (Scrabble, Quiddler, Upwords) are my favorite and I'm great at them. So, when my family and I played Take Four, I was way too good and way too fast for them. My family members are VERY good at word games, but just not at the same skill-level as I. My husband and daughter were very frustrated because they couldn't keep up with me.
I really did love this game, but my family and I agreed that it may be best for the people playing to be at or about the same skill level. I'm listing this game as a 5-star because I really do think most people would enjoy it. My family rated between a 2 and 3 because they didn't enjoy playing it with me. I think they would rate it higher if I wasn't a factor. Lastly, I also bought the game Lexicon at the same time and my family LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it because there was a balance of skill, luck and strategy.

Learning Resources Funny Phonics Puzzle Cards, Short Vowels Review

Learning Resources Funny Phonics Puzzle Cards, Short Vowels

We are a homeschooling family and I got these to help my early reader do some independent activities while I am busy with something else. He enjoys putting them together, saying the words and sentences and then making his own by mixing up some of the letters.
It is a 2 sided puzzle. One side is the word, the other side is a silly sentence. The sentence part is by far the biggest hit. It comes in a nice case to keep them together and to protect them and they are thickly made so they look like they should last a while.
I got these when they were marked down super low, so they were a great value to us and a great extension to our school day. We got both the long and short vowel set.

My child has a speech problem. This helps her hear what I hear. With this my child works on her sounds and now is getting them right. This is not a immediate fix all but it is a great tool to fixing speech problems.
