Lakeshore Learning Word Building Kit

The Lakeshore Learning Word Building Kit is a robust, hands-on resource that supports foundational literacy development through interactive play. This versatile set features three engaging activities, each focusing on spelling, word recognition and fine motor skills. Children begin with snap-together letter blocks to build simple words while strengthening hand coordination. They then progress to self-correcting 3-letter and 4-letter word puzzles that match fun illustrations with corresponding words. With 48 assorted letter blocks and 32 puzzles in total, this kit offers endless opportunities to explore letter patterns, phonics and early spelling in a self-guided or group setting. Whether used in literacy centres or for individual intervention, the variety of tactile and visual learning tools ensures lasting engagement and solid skill acquisition.
