Great educational toy! by L. Heckathorn (Delevan, NY, USA)

My 3 yr-old got this for Christmas, and he really enjoys it. He already knows his letter sounds, and we thought this would help him with the corresponding letter names and starting to form words for pre-reading skills. He really likes using the toy, although it is most effective when we sit and have one-on-one time with him while he uses it, so we can help him stay focused - a tough task for any 3 year old! It is also great to take in the car, as it is just the right size to hold in their lap. We wanted to encourage him in his interest of letters and reading but still keep it fun, and this toy helps! We also purchased the next toy Sizzle makes (Get Ready to Read Activity System for ages 4-7), so that as soon as he is ready we can get that out - it is even more interactive.

My 4 yr old loves playing with this, BUT, it is bad to freeze up and we constantly have to reset it with the reset button on the back, so that is irritating and aggravating to my son. I've noticed this also happening with the Hooked on Phonics Touch Screen Learner toy. I have noticed that my son has learned to spell more words since playing with this for only a couple of weeks.

We just received this toy as a gift for my four year old daughter. She loves it. It is a great teaching tool for letters and sounds. She enjoys spelling words like her older sister. It is a great confidence builder because she can work on the easier levels with ease. It has many levels to work through so she can build confidence while she progresses through them.

I was a bit disapointed with the product, it was difficult to see the little screen, and the letters should be done in white or black, so they can be seen more clearly. I always thought the Hooked on Phonics toys were superior to others, but not this one.

Not as Flashy, But A Very Good Teaching Toy! by A. Stagg (Virginia, USA)

The Phonics Word Master is an excellent teaching toy, especially if you have a child struggling with basics of language skills. Hooked on Phonics is primarily a tool to help teach reading skills, but this particular toy is interesting because it does an excellent job of pronouncing letters and words without lots of flashing lights and distractions that may inhibit children who are ADHD or autistic spectrum. This toy ties the visual representations of letters and words together quite nicely with a straightforward pronunciation of the related sounds. This toy should also be an excellent tool to help ANY kid learn the basics of reading.
