Product Overview

This 26-piece wooden puzzle pairs letter-shaped pieces with a light-activated sound feature: lift a piece and hear Ms. Rachel say the letter, its phonetic sound, and a word that begins with it. Pictures underneath each piece help with matching, and an on/off switch keeps things quiet when needed. The audio content draws on Ms. Rachel's baby and toddler videos, giving kids a familiar voice while they work on letter sounds and early reading skills.
