Educational InsightsSentence Building Dominoes, Learn to Write Manipulatives for Classroom & Home, Set of 114 Double-Sided Dominoes, Ages 6+

As a homeschooling mom of 6, I’m always looking for fun, educational products that keep my kids busy while secretly reinforcing what they’ve learned or need extras help with. My 8 year old son is an extremely insecure reader who gets really discouraged when his 7 year old brother, who reads proficiently and confidentially, “helps” him read. He tells me (and everyone else) that he can’t read even though he can actually read really well when he’s in the right mood and not being forced to do schoolwork so I was looking for ways to get him to read that didn’t seem like school. Initially, these were not what I had planned to order but after the Reading Rods Sentence set became unavailable I decided to give them a try but didn’t have high expectations. So far, these dominoes have been a hit not only with my 8 year old but also with my other kids who range in age from 3-12. They’re versatile and we’ve had fun coming up with different games to play and ways to use them with our homeschool lessons. The words are printed clearly and aren’t too small and the tiles are good quality and durable and have held up well against my destructive boys!My only complaint is the about the storage container the tiles came in. The canister is a lot smaller than I expected and the kids had to dump all the tiles out when they played with them because they couldn’t dig around in it to find the tiles they wanted. I was worried they would lose tiles and also knew they would be more likely to play with them if there was less mess to clean up when they were done. I ended up purchasing a second set of tiles and put both into a plastic shoe box container from the dollar store.Even though these weren’t what I had wanted and I was hesitant about buying them, these dominoes have exceed my expectations! It would be awesome if Educational Insights made sentence builder sets with more difficult words that could be added onto this set but for now, our family will keep coming up with ways to have fun with this set!

My 2nd graders enjoy creating sentences with these! Hands on and helps them with sentence building.

Great for building reading skills and sentence development.

These really are great for my homeschoolers. They make forming sentences fun and engaging and help with fine motor skills as well! There are multiple games that can be created with these. Highly recommend!

These are very cool. We homeschool, and are always looking for fun products for the kids to play around with. These are fun dominoes. My kids have used them for both sentence building, and building. They are not as heavy as regular dominoes, so my son says, make sure you know that they're not ideal for domino runs, but in every other capacity, they are quite good.

We’re using these to teach our granddaughters parts of speech and proper sentence structure.

I work with struggling readers and this item provides them with a great hands-on activity that they enjoy. Every morning I have some tiles laid out for them to rearrange into a complete sentence. The only caution I would give would be to make sure you emphasize students can't pick them up when they are rearranging because there are different words on the back and it can get confusing fast.

Great in 2nd grade classroom

I use this all the time when I’m tutoring young writers. They have different word classes which is great. I just wish there was more of the domino’s - it would be good to have more choice and more ambitious vocab!

Conforme à mes attentes !

Es fehlen 5 Dominos! Im Packet lagen sie alle lose rum.

El porducto tiene las characteristicas descritas. Los colores y el plastico usados son de buena calidad. Se ve exactamente como en las fotos. Va muy bien para utilizarlo en clases. Lo he recibido rápido y en tiempo como esperaba.Lo recomiendo. Comparía otros articulos de este vendedor.

Just what I wanted, great for word work centers but I especially wanted this for some of my students whose writing output is low but can still generate sentences. This will allow them to show me more of what they know.
