Description +

Meet your child's new favorite learning buddy. This friendly talking dinosaur turns phonics and sight words into hands-on play, with 148 double-sided cards covering 592 words and full example sentences across 5 learning categories, from the alphabet through vowel pairs and consonant blends. Just pop a card into place and the dino reads the words and sentence aloud in clear, native pronunciation, helping little ones connect letters to sounds and see how words work together in context. Six phonics sticker sheets reinforce the same learning, covering emotions, numbers, food, animals, and more, so kids can keep practicing sight words and vocabulary anywhere they stick them. Rechargeable via USB-C, Montessori-inspired, screen-free, and built for curious hands ages 3 and up.

How to use PhonicsBuddy +
  1. Charge PhonicsBuddy fully using the included USB-C cable before first use.
  2. Choose a card from any of the 5 color-coded categories, starting with the alphabet set for beginners.
  3. Slide the card into PhonicsBuddy's mouth or place it against the sensor. The dino reads each word and the full sentence aloud, the same way every time.
  4. Encourage repetition. Have your child repeat the word or sentence after PhonicsBuddy, at whatever pace feels comfortable.
  5. Progress through categories in order (alphabet, short vowels, blends, vowel pairs) as your child's confidence grows, or stay on a favorite category as long as needed.
  6. Use the 6 phonics sticker sheets for extra practice. Stick them around the house and use them to keep building vocabulary between card sessions.

We bought this for our autistic 5 year old. She loves it. The dinosaur is small, perfect for little hands. You can also control the volume. After not being used for 5 minutes I believe? It tells you bye and turns off. The cards have a variety of words and sentences. The dinosaur will say just about everything on the cards. Ex. words, a sentence, emoji, etc. It comes with sheets of stickers that you can put anywhere and the dinosaur will still say the word if you put it on top. Love that it has a bed and toilet sticker. The cards are great quality, durable. Very straight forward design, easy to use and great learning tool. You can also wipe it clean.
