Phonics Benefits: Children learn that symbols correspond with specific phonemic sounds, and when placed individually or together, create brand new sounds. These sounds tied together have meaning and this meaning is the construct for the entire English language. The National Reading Panel recommends that children are taught phonemic awareness of individual sounds in words in this order: first, middle and last. When children play Square Panda Bowling, they learn word construction from left to right. For ages 2-5. Square Panda Playset required to play.
