There's one main thing you need to know about this: it's TINY. I feel like the picture misrepresents the item. This thing is about as tall as an iPhone 6+ standing up and about as wide as the same phone on it's side. Make absolutely certain you see the product dimensions which I didn't: Product Dimensions: 5.2 x 2 x 6.2 inches. My second gripe is that, while this is marketed as a "phonics box," the books inside are more like for a pre-schooler. A kindergartner or 1st grader would laugh at the simplicity of these "stories" which usually consist of 3-4 words per page.You may look at this like I did and say "8 bucks for this many books? Wow!" But the reality is you're getting glorified Happy Meal toys in a single, tiny cardboard box.
My five-year-old loves anything involving My Little Pony. When I saw these readers, I knew that she would enjoy them. Since she does not like to read aloud yet, these colorful and fun books were an incentive for her.First, the good news.... Unlike similar products for Dora, Diego, and other characters, these really are 'Bob Book' level readers; each page has a sentence or two. Now the negatives.... My Little Pony names do not lend themselves to phonics readers (Sunny Daze, Sparkleworks, for example). Plus, while the text is very simple, there is not the type of phonics building that you will find in Hooked on Phonics or Bob books. In other words, these are fun additions to whatever reading program that you intend to use with your young MLP fan.
This entire package could have been made MUCH better.My daughter, a lover of My Little Pony, was completely bored with these books in about a week. Even the decodable phonics words weren't enough inspiration to keep her reading when confronted with far too many words she wasn't ready for, and the names! The pictures were a bit too close to sight-word clues, as well, which meant she didn't have to try to know what was going on. For a 'phonics' package, these books relied too much on the 'sight words' clues (guessing at story instead of READING).The books are tiny- more like what your kids bring home as freebies from public school than something you paid money for.Not sorry I bought them for her, but definitely not what they advertise themselves to be.
Save your money! No these books do not have consistent sounds targeted in each book. Don't you think there name of the pony for the short e book should have a short e in it ? Think again! If you want to target phonics, the curious George phonics set much better. This one sucks in every way - not enough of target sounds in book and dumbed down story - sentences. If your child is smart enough to be reading - don't subject themTo these books. Cute pictures for a child under age of 2 but too small and kids that age would destroy cheaply made books in a minute.
These are so great. My daughter is 4 and these really helped to keep her interest in reading. They're definitely a more complicated read than say, BOB books so I wouldn't recommend them for a brand new reader. A lot of words are going to need to be previewed ahead of time if you have a beginning reader like mine, but they're great for any My Little Pony fan who wants some "fun" easy readers.
My daughter was thrilled to receive these because of the characters. They aren't really phonic readers, though, including a lot of sounds and combos we haven't covered yet. Many words more advanced that Bob books set 4, and there isn't much to the stories.
My daughter (almost 5) loves everything pink, and I thought this would be a good direction to go in as she was beginning to read. I first saw this in her preschool Scholastic flyer (at a higher price) so I thought that it would be a good buy.My daughter is able to sound out some words. She knows the sounds of all the letters, and she's done well in other beginning reader books. She's very patient. These books frustrated her, made her cry because she couldn't succeed even after reading the books over and over for days, and frankly have set back the phonics progress we had made previously.These books have very difficult words in them, not the least of which are the pony names. Here's a page out of BOOK ONE. "Hello, Sparkleworks! Sparleworks is my friend." Another one in the same book "Here is a pink pony. I like pink ponies! This pony is Skywishes."It doesn't get any better. A random page from Book nine "Let's pet the rabbit!" said Daisy Jo. Rainbow Dash bent down to say hello."I would skip this as a "My First I Can Read" as it is marketed, or as a phonics helper.
We just received and opened My Little Pony Phonics Box we purchased through . We went through another phonics-based program a year ago, but I thought this might encourage her further because she's really in love with My Little Pony.I am extremely disappointed. I opened the very first booklet and it asks the young reader to learn 'sight words.' If I wished for her to just memorize some crap, I would have sent her to public school! The books don't even describe the sounds (ie 'short i').This set of books is mislabeled and misleading.
