Great educational product! . As an early childhood educator, I know the importance of early literacy skills. My 6 year old daughter uses these magnets to make up her own silly sentences. I would recommend this for kindergarten-1st grade, for preschoolers it will be too frustrating and for older children it will be too easy. I like the variety of words. I rated the durability somewhat low because it would be rather easy to bend the magnet and break it (this has happened before to us with another set), but with a child 5 years old or older you should be able to explain to them not to do that. Yet another reason why this wouldn't work so great with preschoolers - they may just tear them apart!

First Words Magnetic Poetry Kit Reviews
great learn to read tool . We used this kit for helping my son learn to read. We started with one word on the board. As he memorized the words, we added them one at a time. After a while, we were able to add words more quickly. When he had lots of words memorized, we started making silly sentences for him to read. Sometimes he makes them for me and sometimes I make them for him. The words are larger and easier to move that the regular magnetic poetry set, but the selection is limited. The kit does not include color names (which we really missed; we made our own magnets for those). Great for beginners. To make really fun poetry, you'll want to move on to the regular kit.

First Words Magnetic Poetry Kit Opinions
Great for early readers . This toy is a great addition to my 5 year old's room. He likes identifying sight words from the great number of words in the set, and he likes trying to help me make up silly sentences. It has all kinds of short words--pronouns, verbs, color words, animals, feelings. Lots of words designated as kindergarten "sight words." Great purchase.

Fun for the whole family . This is wonderful. Everyone in the family has fun reading and making funny sentences back and forth to eachother. My daughter who is 6 loves to read what we put on the frig. it encourages her to want to read more - she has fun putting words together as well.
Great Fun for Early Readers . This Magnetic Poetry Set made a fine stocking stuffer for my soon-to-be five year old daughter.
She has just started reading on her own, and has developed an interest in spelling. These words give her great exposure to both. They are all quite simple, and almost below her reading level. However, this works out well as she doesn't have to concentrate too hard on any one word. Instead, she can go up to the refrigerator and make up all manner of silly sentences and sentence fragments and giggle maniacally with her two year old sister, who can't read, but loves having big sis read to her. We've also practiced searching for words to describe various stretches of our Frigits marble run, (fast, slow, green, and for the final marble capture, the phrase 'going home' etc.) which is kind of a cool dual use for these.
As a young adult, I always had the adult variation of Magnetic Poetry on the fridge, and it's a thrill to pass the fun on to my kids. Parents who are familiar with the adult version, will be thankful that the words were chosen wisely for this introductory set. And so it appears, thus far, to be virtually impossible to make near-offensive or vulgar sentiments (the only noun that's gotten a lot of play that way is 'nose' because you can make all kids of booger-related references by using the word nose, which is just kid-level silliness).
All-around, I'm totally pleased with this one, and would highly recommend as an extra tool to make reading more fun for kids. I think it's definitely had that effect for my daughter.

Grandson loves it . My grandson loves this! Bought it last Xmas and he still plays with it; it has really helped with his reading (he is now 5). Ordering another set for my god-daughter's little girl.
Cons Review
A fun way to learn . I bought this to help my kindergartener with his reading skills. Word recognition (finding the words he wants), sentence structure (putting words together to form sentences), creativity (telling a story). The only problem we've had is that there are so many words that it can be overwhelming and/or hard to find a particular word. Grouping like-words together can help. It's well-made and durable. The words are magnetized, but work well on any hard surface. My son usually uses a cookie sheet.
