This unique learning center teaches spelling. It consists of a spelling tray with an attached chalkboard, wood tiles with individual letters and spelling picture word cards. A word is spelled by copying the word card. Letter tiles are placed in the correct sequence in the spelling tray. The word is studied, then the doors are closed. The child writes out the word on the chalkboard from memory. Correctness is checked by lifting the doors and matching the letter tiles to the handwritten word.
This toy can help develops sequential memory and some abilities required to learn to read, such as word recognition. Lowercase tiles are also available but sold separately.
