“I teach ESL (English as a second language) and bought this for that purpose. I also will use it with my grandchildren when they begin to read. I like the size of the lettering, added possible endings (ing, ed, ly), and word variety. Prefixes and suffixes would have been helpful. More descriptive words (adjectives and adverbs) with possibly some "kid" expressions/slang would be fun especially for the stated purpose (poetry) and the age marketed.”

“The description says 'large scale' but I wish they were a little larger. A different type of box would also be better since the existing box, once opened, doesn't hold them well. Overall, they are fine. Includes a nice selection of words.”

“I love this set. I bought it for my daughter's Kindergarten class and they posted the words on a large magnetic surface (some kind of AC unit, I think) in the classroom. The kids really enjoyed seeing familiar words and trying to figure out the ones they didn't know. They did not really seem to make much poetry with the words, mainly just naming the words and moving them around to suit their fancy!”
