Educational
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This game is very educational. The downside is the small font so it's hard to tell the symbol above the vowels. I wish that part was digital so it can be easily changed rather that switching out cards.

Fun learning game
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this item in exchange of an honest review. As a parent, I really like the Sound Sorting Shark activity. It makes practicing letter sounds feel like a game instead of homework. My child was excited to 'feed' the shark the right words, and it kept her attention the whole time. I noticed she was recognizing sounds faster and gaining more confidence with her reading skills. It's fun, simple to use, and a great way to sneak in learning at home

Great Game
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great and educational game. It is a little difficult to understand at first, but once you learn how to play it, it becomes pretty fun. My 5 year old really liked to play with it. My 3 year olds still had some difficult learning it

My 3 year old loved this product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great product my son loved it, I wish it was electronic I think my son would have enjoyed it more. But overall my son loved it, I just have to be careful of losing the pieces, other than that it's a cool project.

Definitely a need in my child's learning!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first saw the box It made me think that the sharks made sounds but unfortunately they do not. I feel that if the sharks had been a bit more interactive, this product would of been better.( I received this product free in exchange for my review).

This item could have been more interesting
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This item could have been more entertaining/interactive by making the actual noises , my child didn't take much interest to it besides trying to match the colors to the card into the colors of each item other than that he didn't seem into it anymore I'm pretty sure if it had sound he would have loved it .

Cool multituse
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this product with my four year old and it was very interactive. We worked together. However, I do think the cards are a bit small. Though, my child didnt use it for its sole purpose of phonics, we used it for alphabet recognition, which was great. I will continue to use it for that and further activities as he progresses.

Great for early literacy aid
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you Learning Resources for the free Say-a-sound sorting sharks! I actually received the product damaged with the box completely open on one side. Besides the delivery issue, my children and I have been having a blast with the game. I like how easy or hard you can make it depending on the age and children and their own separate development. From a kindergartener, 3 year old and even early learning just putting the pieces into the sharks mouth it really has been a universal hit for our little family. The only other issue was the 2 year old did throw a shark off the table after the first use and the sharks head does not stay on the mouth any more which was upsetting but we still have 4 others and it hasn't stopped us from playing !

Great no screens educational activity
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, this is a great basic learning activity that doesn't involve screens! I have a 4 year old at home that is learning his sounds and this is a great activity that we can do together that helps him identify sounds in words. I love that the cards each have words and pictures so my child is able to sort through the cards himself. My main issue with this activity is that there is no way to "sort" with the box they came in. It's really tedious to search through each letter/sound token to find the ones that I want to use for the different color tokens. I ended up just getting out some ziplock bags and dividing everything out so that I can just pull out a ziplock bag and it's a completed set. It also would be nice if the letters/sound tokens were color coded as well to match the words/picture tokens. This would make it easier for the younger kids using the activity. And help a parent's sanity as well! Overall, really like this and will definitely be using it to help my child learn their letters/sounds!
