Question about Leapfrog Word Whammer and Magnetic Letters?

Question

One of my friends is a kindergarten teacher, so I decided to get her the fridge phonics magnetic letters for her classroom, as I got this for my son last Christmas and he loves it. I was also going to get her the Word Whammer as she said half of her kids know the alphabet, half don't, and some are picking up on how to read. Is there any point in getting both, or should I just get the Word Whammer? It seems like it performs all the functions of the letters set.

Answer 1

Personally............I don't think you can beat the hands on thing, especially for those not computer inclined.  I would get both.

Answer 2

I think that you should only get the word wammer

Answer 3

Get the letters set. My kids have that too and my daughter is in preschool and is starting to read. She knows all her letters and their basic sound that they make! The kids will have more fun with the letters I think.
