36 SMART BLOCKS consist of 144 planes with letters, numbers and punctuation marks. Each letter and number is repeated 2-6 times depending on their language frequency.
The blocks have all the ABC and punctuation marks on it’s planes. The bases of the blocks are connectable in a way that allows only left-to-right direction of the words and automatically prevents the letters from reverse-reading or upside-down position.
The size of the blocks has been chosen so that it develops natural sensitivity (sensory capability) and motility of child’s fingers, prepares him for writing and contributes to correct pronunciation. Thus, in the process of reading not only speech-motor (when a child is pronouncing the letters and words) and visual images get activated, but also a motor image of word-combinations presented as a set of blocks. It allows fuller and more active synchronization and also considerably improves visual memory.
MATH
The blocks have all math symbols studied by children up to 9 years old. It forms counting skills, helps to memorize simple mathematical rules and develops ideas of length, amount, space and volume of objects.
WRITING
Preparation for mastering the letter is that child learns visually depicted on the blocks letters or numbers and in enlarged configuration reproduces them writing up in the air with the index finger. Recommended to pronounce aloud each of the characters described, synchronize the speed of pronunciation with the speed of playback in the air.
This is an unusual educational tool that combines effective training and educational game.
SMART BLOCKS has been designed by well-known specialists R. Gladushyna and A. Gladushyn. The tool develops the principles introduced by M. Montessori (Patent USA No. 1093369)
