Lovevery Reading Skills Set, Learning Reading for Kindergarten and 1st Grade, Fun Phonics Games and Books, Part 2

Lovevery never fails

I wasn’t sure about this set after using the first. In part 1 I found some activities excellent and others less so. However, absolutely everything in this set is fantastic. If I could go back in time I would just get this set and wait until my child is ready. The word-decoder and story-telling components are fantastic to start with and extremely engaging. They can easily be done either together or alone. Every activity within the box is excellent and I couldn’t believe how many different engaging activities and books come with this kit. Compared to the first it is a huge win and excellent value!

This set is a great tool for parents interested in helping their child to learn how to read in a fun and engaging way. My son enjoyed the different activities and basically just thinks it’s playing. He has developed a love for reading !

Before anything else, the one thing that stands out is the quality. The quality of the materials, design, and even packaging. Everything was nicely packed in a sizable box, but very little space is wasted, and it is quite impressive how many items were packed into the approx. 10” x 11” x 20” box. The shipping box also functions as a great storage box for when you want to put everything away (maybe for the next kid). The box opens from the top, but it has a tab in the front that slips into a slot along the front edge. As you cut along the packaging tape on the top, be careful around the front so that you do not cut through the tab. From the books to the other items everything is well made, with quality you can see and touch. Everything offers decent durability, but kids will still need to be mindful of how much force they use as some items can obviously rip or be broken off. The materials are thoughtfully designed in terms of their size, thickness, colors, and variety. The drastically different “toys” that are included with the reading material definitely keep children engaged. While there might be a slight learning curve, everything is described in detailed and easy-to-follow instructions. As a parent, if you play around with the items while reading the instructions, you will quickly understand how to introduce each item to kids. I also like how this is an interactive learning experience for the children and the parents. Children can learn through exploring the items on their own, but it is so much more fun when the parents can get involved. This set allows for that kind of parent-child interaction. When you first open the box, you are greeted with a timeline that states: Part 1 - Sounds to Reading, Part 2 - Words to Books, and Part 3 - Advanced Rules to Chapter Books. Since this box contains Part 2, it lists Basic Blending, Comprehensive Blending, and Storytelling as the focus areas. On the product webpage, it lists Part 1 as Pre-K to Kindergarten skills, Part 2 as Kindergarten to 1st grade skills, and Part 3 as 1st grade to 2nd grade skills. Based on this, it seems like you can choose the set based on your child’s age and skill level. This is a great set, and we really enjoyed this Lovevery The Reading Skill Set Part 2. While all of the materials were great, the favorites were the storytelling stage and mystery word decoder.

We absolutely love this set! Our grandkids are in 3rd grade, a kindergartener and 2 year old and there is, to my surprise, something for each age in this set. Starting with the books. They are “real world” stories and my grandkids love this, especially our 2 year old grandson. Sure, he’s not reading them on his own, but the number of times we’ve read the Bug is Not Big is almost comical at this point. The ladybug that comes with it for this book is so well loved. The books themselves are well thought out for early readers. I love the practice in the beginning and the comprehension questions in the back of the book. The activities are also great! My grandkids especially love the storytelling game. We’ve played this so many times and again and all three ages are able to participate at various levels. It’s easy to modify for each grandkid. My 5 year old granddaughter loves the story order cards and I love the emphasis on not necessarily focusing on order but focusing on what’s logical to the child. Some of the other games are definitely more suited for experienced readers. My 3rd grade grandson does great and loves the practice. My other grandkids will grow into it and I love that we can modify this for the each of them. Lovevery does a great job of making it feel like play and I love knowing it’s quality time spent. Truly can’t go wrong with these reading sets!
