    The sliding sounds are a great idea! I personally would leave out most of the instructions (the child must write out the spelling words, the child must practice reading and spelling daily, testing the child…) and would recommend simply playing games with children with them. Learning does not have to be assigned and regulated to happen, especially if we want our children to love to learn. I’m guessing most children would happily use these and learn wonderfully without force, especially if they get to take the lead. ๐Ÿ™‚
