Review Highlights:
Children learn and practice letter recognition, word building, word families, and early reading skills.
The Happy Hats Board Game easily fits into or supplements standard reading curriculum, making it a perfect choice for homeschooling families, The ease of game play, familiar characters, and cute hat tokens add to the overall "buy-in" for young players. I love the way the game helps kids develop confidence and early reading skills in a fun and engaging way. I love this product. I highly recommend the Happy Hats Board Game to all parents and educators of emergent readers and young learners.
Children learn to put letter sounds to create 3 letter words using a CVC pattern-(Consonant, vowel, consonant). They are learning reading skills and social skills. This is a great product for practicing 3 letter word development for Kindergarteners. It also focuses on the characters from the Bob Books.
Students collect hats along the path as they read the 3 letter words correctly. The instructions were clear and concise. Great product for my classroom.
