Auchq Word Families Pocket Chart, Word Building Center for Kindergarten Prek Preschool Classroom, Phonics and Spelling Learning Material for Homeschool Classroom.

Perfect for kindergarten. Very colorful and sturdy.

We use this to help establish sight words. We have made a race by seeing how long it takes to say and place each word. Quite a fun way to do learning/teaching.

Great tool for small groups working on rhyming and word families.

Love this in my classroom! I teach sped and my students really need practice with this type of activity. Great condition and well made!

I laminated the words and word family parts and I currently use them now with my students.

I like it. Durable, colorful, easy to use

The hanging pocket chart is a versatile and high quality learning tool for both home and school. I use it with my visual learner at home to help expand vocabulary and increase communication. I go beyond the included word cards, and also use other (horizontal) flashcards I have of sight words. I expect to expand its usage to sentence building, visual schedules, etc. in the future. The nylon material of the chart seems very durable, which I expect will last long for a variety of applications over the time. The cards are also durable with good print quality. Great selection of word families, example words and illustration pictures for effective learning!I've wished this hanging pocket chart would come with a storage bag for all the word family/word cards, and hanging hooks to complete the package. However, lack of these nice extras doesn't affect its usage (since alternatives are easy to find), so no star deducted.

The chart comes equipped with an impressive array of 16 word families, featuring five illustrated word cards for each, and includes an additional heading card and eight word family cards. A note about the heading card is that it uses “family” in the singular, but you can fit two word “families” in the display. Updating to the plural form would make more sense.One notable feature of this pocket chart is the double-sided nature of each card, a design choice that minimizes storage space. Each family card and its associated word cards have the same sets front/back, so you can’t mistakenly try to pair two front/back families. It just limits the potential combinations you can display.The initial setup proved to be a more time-consuming and frustrating task than I had anticipated. The cards are not conveniently organized on the perforated sheets they come on, necessitating a thorough search for all words within a specific family. Furthermore, the punching-out process presented challenges, with several cards tearing or retaining bits of the perforated sheets, as evidenced by the thin, transparent plastic remnants shown in the product images.On a positive note, the pocket chart itself is robust and hangs effortlessly from the two metal grommets, ensuring durability and ease of display. However, a minor improvement could be made in the pocket depth, as the current design allows cards to slip out easily. If the pockets were approximately 75% of the card height, rather than the current 40-50%, it would likely enhance the overall functionality and prevent cards from falling out.In conclusion, despite the initial setup hurdles and minor concerns with pocket depth, the Word Families Pocket Chart is a helpful literacy tool for young learners. The ample variety of word families make it a worthwhile addition to any kindergarten or preschool classroom, as well as an effective resource for homeschooling environments.
