Orchard Toys Match and Spell Next Steps Game, Word Games for Kids Age 5+

A fantastic educational game! It makes learning phonics, blends, and spelling fun and engaging. The quality is excellent, the pieces are sturdy, and it’s a great way to build children’s confidence with reading and word building. Highly recommended for children aged 5+.

An engaging and educational game. Perfect for a reception year child that has progressed from first sounds. My child follows the Read Write Inc programme at school, this Orchard game compliments the style of reading he is learning well.mostly it is fun and he also likes to sit and play on his own matching the sounds and reading the words. Usually high quality Orchard game. Great value for money and an ideal gift.

This is an upgrade from the previous box, is used for home teaching and proving very successful. Good quality pieces of suitable size, easy to grab and handle. There are not enough of the matching jigsaw-type pieces which seem to be favoured and would make the matching more interesting. The colours are bright enough but not garish and the pictures not too simplistic. The child finds it exciting and challenging at the same time, and a good introduction to the different sounds the letters can make. I would recommend this to anyone.

Good

My 5 year old son absolutely loves this thank you. Great product and educational.

Very engaging. Letters can be used to spell the words given and words of your own! Good quality cards.

Bought this for my 5 year old granddaughter to help with her spelling while having lots of fun. It's age appropriate and would be a good gift. The game is easy to use, looks good and the thickness of cardboard gives it ample sturdiness. Great value for money as is all Orchard Toys games.

Great for having a short learning game with my 4 years old grandniece I said short game because after we spell out a couple of characters she wants to play a more exciting game but this is enough to help her progress slowly and i think it is a great start for her to learn letters and the difference letter sounds make when 2 letters are put together eg a + i ai as the letter tabs have some of these

A mi hija de 5 años que estudia inglés le ha gustado mucho. Sólo pondría una pega... hay muy pocas tarjetas... podrían haber puesto más.

Ho acquistato molte cose della Orchard. Sono certamente ben fatte e danno la possibilità di ampliare le varie situazioni didattiche. Con questo Match and Spell invece, è andata un pò peggio. Ci sono pochissime parole, forse troppo semplici e non c'è un gran margine di versatilità. Lo utilizzo sempre volentieri, ma non ha rispecchiato proprio del tutto le mie aspettative. Avrei preferito più pezzi, più parole ed anche più versatilità.

This is a great resource for students who have mastered cvc words and 4 sound words in the previous game and are ready to move on to letter combinations such as sh/th/ch. There’s various ways you can use it from easy to difficult.

Great product love it.

This is such a great learning tool. My kid loves it. I wish there were more with animal spellings!
